- Summary:
-
A non-anthropocentric view of humankind's relationship with nature is addressed in these essays which are a part of an ongoing series of working papers on technology. The first essay, "Extremist Conceptions of Man and Nature" by Eric Katz critiques three popular philosophies regarding nature and the environment that are believed to be misguided and ineffective. A paradigm of harmony or "ecopiety" in which humankind is attuned to both itself and to nature is offered in Hwa Yol Jung's essay. "The Arrogance and Banality of Technology: A Critique from the Perspective of Deep Ecology." Ecopiety is meant to subvert and transgress anthropocentrism and thereby harmonize humans with nature in a spirit of reverence for all earthly beings and things. In the third essay, "Technology and the Healing of the Earth," Thomas Berry reviews the question of human/earth relationships through a cultural/historical approach on a species level. He proposes the need for a mutually enhancing human/earth relationship that focuses on bioregionalism, appropriate technology, and a less wasteful and unjust distribution of human goods. The final paper, authored by Donald St. John, contains summaries, comparisons, and commentaries on the three presented essays. (ML)
