Spiritual Ecology and Sustainability: Practice and Confluence

As a collection of essays, Spiritual Ecology and Sustainability: Practice and Confluence is a celebration of the spiritual ecological consciousness of its contributors. The book reinforces spiritual ecologists’ view that as primary segments of nature, human beings need to focus on environmental ethics that is ecology-centric rather than anthropocentric. The present collection also pays particular attention to the relationship between modern science-based knowledge and values that are derived from the deep-seated practices, philosophy, spirituality and culture that influence ecological behaviour. On the same register, this book also addresses the rationale for incorporating a spiritual ecology-centric education system. This book hopes to interest environmentalists and conservationists; people with spiritual leanings looking for environmental solutions; econometricians desirous of measuring the abstract ethical domain for solving die climate predicament of today; and believers in native ecosystems and animistic philosophy.
