Philosophical Roots of the Environmental Movement

Exploring the intrinsic philosophical framework of the environmentalist movement, this chapter examines the importance of understanding creation as a gift from God and humanity's role as stewards rather than masters of nature. The conversation challenges the mechanistic view of the world and delves into historical interpretations that influenced a shift towards Deism. Emphasizing the interconnected topics of environmental concerns and Christian perspectives, the chapter calls for a deeper personal connection with creation beyond materialistic or evolutionary viewpoints.
