- Summary:
- The forces that imperil Earth threaten present, permanent, and dramatic changes for life on the planet. What is the moral vision required to understand Earth's goodness and humanity's place in it? In 'The Cosmic Common Good', Daniel Scheid argues that the cosmic common good provides a common ground for interreligious ecological ethics by affirming (1) an ethical non-anthropocentrism, in which humans are part of the greater whole of the cosmos; (2) both the instrumental and intrinsic value of nonhuman nature; and (3) an integral connection between the ends of religious practice and the pursuit of this common good.
