Description

Since the emergence of the field of religious environmentalism, Buddhism has been a key resource in shaping a religious environmental ethics. This book contributes to the global dialogue on religion and ecology by introducing the concept of Buddhist environmental humanism as a framework for understanding Buddhism's response to the contemporary ecological crisis. The author argues that through a humanistic lens, Buddhist environmentalism offers a deeper understanding of how Buddhism addresses the pressing challenges facing humanity, while also properly ascribing agency and responsibility to humans within the broader community of beings. Central to this proposal is a recognition of the essential human role within the ecological crisis while carefully avoiding the pitfalls of anthropocentrism and human chauvinism.
