We have here nothing less than a theology of life-life in the
intensity of its postcolonial ecology, rippling through the
creaturely interconnections of our planetary process, yet at the
same time grounded in the beautiful local metaphors of an Asian
counter-history. Jea Sophia Oh's luminous book is a must-read for
all who care about the global socio-ecology, about process
theology, about eco-femnism, about comparative theology-singly and
together. -Catherine Keller, author of On the Mystery and Face of
the Deep This exciting book begs classification as a
second-generation exercise in postcolonial theology. It exceeds
first-generation exercises in the sheer audacity of its
eclecticism. Postcolonial theology fuses with ecotheology, and that
amalgam combines in turn with comparative theology, transnational
feminism, and contextual theology. It's enough to make one believe
that theology may have a future after all in the twenty-first
century. -Stephen D. Moore, author of Empire and Apocalypse and
co-editor of Postcolonial Biblical Criticism and Planetary Loves:
Spivak, Postcoloniality, and Theology Jea Sophia Oh promises and
delivers a book on a multifaceted ethics that is a timely addition
to the genre because it opens a scholarly space for rethinking an
appropriate relationship among all living things. She bridges
postcolonialism and ecotheology with the use of Salim as the
philosophical underpinning for the argument that all forms of life
are equal and divine. As we look at the physical and spiritual
suffering and degradation caused by oppression of those that we
deem to be subaltern, we say a resounding YES to the message of
Hanul -becoming together. There is a poetic quality to the book
which, like all poetry must be read carefully and thoughtfully. The
reader will find that it is well worth the effort. -Melodie M.
Toby, Professor of Sociology and Anthropology, Kean University This
book is a great introduction to eco-religious becoming and a great
work of comparative theology in the context of Korean religious
life. It will definitely introduce many readers to such
concepts/terms as Donghak, salim, bab, hanul, and teum, which are
not only contextually relevant for Korean theology but conceptually
heavy-lifting in terms of "postcolonial eco-theology." Such a
post-colonial hybrid ecotheology calls out for what the author
describes as an ecocracy in place of the andro/anthropocentric
notion of democracy and "globalization as usual." -Whitney A.
Bauman, author of Theology, Creation, and Environmental Ethics:
From Creatio ex Nihilo to Terra Nullius
Suffering and Evil in Nature: Comparative Responses from Ecstatic
Naturalism and Healing Cultures, edited by Joseph E. Harroff and
Jea Sophia Oh, provides many unique experiments in thinking through
the implications of ecstatic naturalism. This collection of essays
directly addresses the importance of values sustaining cultures of
healing and offers a variety of perspectives inducing radical hope
requisite for cultivating moral and political imaginings of
democracy-to-come as a regulative ideal. Through its invocation of
"healing cultures," the collection foregrounds the significance of
the active, gerundive, and processual nature of ecstatic naturalism
as a creative horizon for realizing values of intersubjective
flourishing, while also highlighting the significance of culture as
an always unfinished project of making discursive, interpretive and
ethical space open for the subaltern and voiceless. Each
contribution gives voice to the tensions and contradictions felt by
living participants in emergent communities of
interpretation-namely those who risk replacing authoritarian
tendencies and fascist prejudices with a faith in future-oriented
archetypes of healing to make possible truth and reconciliation
between oppressor and oppressed, victimizers and victims of
violence and trauma. These essays then let loose the radical hope
of healing from suffering in a ceaseless community of communication
within a horizon of creative democratic interpretation.
What does it mean for nature to be sacred? Is anything supernatural
or even unnatural? Nature's Transcendence and Immanence: A
Comparative Interdisciplinary Ecstatic Naturalism discusses
nature's divinizing process of unfolding and folding through
East-West dialogues and interdisciplinary methodologies. Nature's
selving/god-ing processes are the sacred that is revealed as
nature's transcendent and immanent dimensions. Each chapter of
Nature's Transcendence and Immanence: A Comparative
Interdisciplinary Ecstatic Naturalism shares a part of nature's
sacred folds that are complexes within nature that have unusual
semiotic density. These discussions serve to help restore a better
relationship to nature as a whole through an innovative combination
of research and ideas from a variety of traditions and disciplines.
This collection not only introduces ecstatic naturalism and deep
pantheism as sacred practices of philosophy and theology, but also
invites a broader audience from a wide range of academic
disciplines such as neuro-psychoanalysis, aesthetics, mythology,
neuroscience, and artificial intelligence (AI).
A Philosophy of Sacred Nature introduces Robert Corrington's
philosophical thought, "ecstatic naturalism," which seeks to
recognize nature's self-transforming potential. Ecstatic naturalism
is a philosophical-theological perspective, deeply seated in a
semiotic cosmology and psychosemiosis, and it radically and
profoundly probes into the mystery of nature's perennial
self-fissuring of nature natured and nature naturing. Edited by
Leon Niemoczynski and Nam T. Nguyen, this collection aims to allow
readers to see what can be done with ecstatic naturalism, and what
directions, interpretations, and creative uses that doing can take.
A thorough exploration of the prospects of ecstatic naturalism,
this book will appeal to scholars of Continental philosophy,
religious naturalism, and American pragmatism.
