Description

Product Description Roger S. Gottlieb is internationally known for his groundbreaking studies of religious environmentalism, passionate account of spirituality in an age of environmental crisis, and enlightening vision of the role of religion in a democratic society. Political and Spiritual brings together for the first time his most powerful essays on these and related themes. The book's wealth of topics includes spiritual deep ecology, ethical theory, animal rights, the Holocaust, the environmental crisis, and the experience of disability-as well as new essays on the human meaning of technology, facing death, and a fascinating intellectual autobiography. As a whole, Political and Spiritual reveals Gottlieb's unique ability to connect our collective struggles for a just, rational, and caring society with our personal strivings for contentment, wisdom, and compassion. Review Crisis convenes many disciplines, a fact Gottlieb demonstrates in this book, which brings together 19 essays under the unifying theme of ecological disaster. The grouping of essays by theme results in some generalization and repetition of ideas, though the positive impact of religious institutions in response to the environmental crisis is developed throughout the book. Gottlieb's experience as a religious Jew and critical theorist inform his active engagement in interreligious dialogue and friendship. The author's intellectual crisis, brought about by radical politics, is followed by reflections on ecology and the pursuit of religious environmentalism. Strong and insightful are the more personal reflections on the Holocaust and Jewish identity, particularly the relation between genocide and ecocide. The author's raising a daughter with mental and physical disabilities provides another lens through which he tries to understand moral, political, and spiritual existence in an age of technological ubiquity and ecological desecration. Readers--including advanced undergraduates--will find useful references at the end of each essay. Environmentalists seeking inspiration and reasonable, holistic responses to the current fragmented age may benefit from delving into these essays as well. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above.--CHOICE For decades Roger Gottlieb has been on a philosophical and spiritual pilgrimage, pursuing a unification of political movements and spiritual values, promoting human and ecological flourishing, and advancing social and religious unity and community. The essays in this splendid book capture the heart, soul, and mind of this important thinker's valuable contributions.--Chad Meister, Bethel College Nuanced, balanced, complex, and realistic, Roger Gottlieb's Political and Spiritual is welcome. The essays bring out tensions in our thoughts about such matters as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, animal rights vs. the benefits of medical research, and deep ecology vs. the claims of social justice. Gottlieb makes an eloquent plea for mutual respect in the face of difference without indifference in the face of evil.--Peter S. Wenz, University Scholar, University of Illinois; emeritus professor of philosophy, University of Illinois at Springfield; adjunct lecturer, University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand A landmark work. The best argument I have ever seen for Jewish engagement in ecological salvation. A sensitive, convincing look back at the Holocaust, for positive benefit to all humankind.--Jerome Gellman, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev; Australian Catholic University In our day of canalized research, Gottlieb has no recognized location. He deals with many topics, but not in a way that accepts compartmentalization. Instead of playing the scholar adding to the vast storehouses of value-free information so prized in the university, Gottlieb is a thinker, a true intellectual. In this book one can sample expressions of an underlying wisdom shaping reflection o
