Like never before in history, humans are becoming increasingly
interconnected with one another and with the other inhabitants and
habitats of Earth. There are numerous signs of planetary
interrelations, from social media and international trade to
genetic engineering and global climate change. The scientific study
of interrelations between organisms and environments, Ecology, is
uniquely capable of addressing the complex challenges that
characterize our era of planetary coexistence. Whole Earth Thinking
and Planetary Coexistence focuses on newly emerging approaches to
ecology that cross the disciplinary boundaries of sciences and
humanities with the aim of responding to the challenges facing the
current era of planetary interconnectedness. It introduces concepts
that draw out a creative contrast between religious and secular
approaches to the integration of sciences and humanities, with
religious approaches represented by the "geologian" Thomas Berry
and the whole Earth thinking of Stephanie Kaza and Gary Snyder, and
the more secular approaches represented by the "geophilosophy" of
poststructuralist theorists Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari. This
book will introduce concepts engaging with the ecological
challenges of planetary coexistence to students and professionals
in fields of environmental studies, philosophy and religious
studies.
