商品描述

This book presents a comprehensive vision of human life, ecology, and theology inspired by Spinoza. According to this vision, human beings and all other natural entities are not independent substances but are rather "modes" of nature, meaning that they are fleeting manifestations of nature's conatus. By intuitively (and not just intellectually) recognizing ourselves to be modes of nature, we can more fully realize ourselves. To achieve this requires a radical rethinking of our world, of ourselves, and of God, and a far richer understanding of ecology, and an ethics grounded in ecology, than those in current usage. Brian Fay explores this rethinking, and the result is a new, far-reaching vision of our world and how to be responsible, thriving agents in it.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書呈現了一個受到斯賓諾莎啟發的全面人類生活、生態學和神學的視野。根據這個視野,人類和所有其他自然實體並不是獨立的實體,而是自然的「模式」,這意味著它們是自然的意志(conatus)短暫的顯現。通過直觀地(而不僅僅是智力上)認識到我們是自然的模式,我們可以更充分地實現自我。要達成這一點,需要對我們的世界、對我們自己以及對上帝進行徹底的重新思考,並對生態學有更豐富的理解,以及建立在生態學基礎上的倫理,這些都超越了當前的用法。布萊恩·費伊(Brian Fay)探討了這種重新思考,結果是對我們的世界及如何在其中成為負責任且繁榮的行動者的一種新的、深遠的視野。
