Peter Manley Scott A Theology of Postnatural Right Reihe: Studies in Religion and the Environment/Studien zur Religion und Umwelt Bd. 13, 2019, 200 S., 34.90 EUR, 34.90 CHF, br., ISBN 978-3-643-91076-9 This study provides a theological and social ethics for an ecological age. It develops a concept of right for an order of creaturely life. This order consists of a "society" that encompasses humans and other creatures. The concept of right presented here is elaborated by reference to a postnatural condition, which rejects claims of a given natural order. Strong contrasts between nature and the human as well as nature and technology are also called into question. A pioneering study, this theory of right faces an ecological horizon, draws on theological resources in the doctrine of creation and proposes an ethics towards a freer social order. Peter Manley Scott is Samuel Ferguson Professor of Applied Theology and Director of the Lincoln Theological Institute at The University of Manchester, UK. |
