摘要: Recent language in environmental philosophy, ethics and religion ecology focus on such tropes as an “ecology without nature” (Morton), a “virtue of ignorance” (Vitek & Jackson) “theology (Albertson King). There is move philosophy science towards event-based emergent understandings reality that neither dualistic nor monistic; it being referred to “new materialism” (Bennett, Coole, Stengers). The idea planetary imagination (Moore Rivera) has been opposed the global one connects through diversity rather than forcing all into some common sameness. These shifts theology represent turn toward spatial thinking begins with Nietzsche’s “Death God” finds its way contemporary eco-theologies post-colonial theologies. I explore tension living these in-between, ambiguous places argue tools can provide at least three resources for dealing times transition (Tweed). First, provides fears associated ambiguity are not based ignoring current contexts (denial) or responding hate (violence). Second, suggests opposite hope despair, but certainty. Despair be healthy part when terror violence. Third, emphasizes humility love “others,” which necessary motivations given we always-already hypocrites act world. Ethical helps us uncover ways benefit from destructive processes globalization even visions “better” community.
