Elements of Pantheism
Elements of Pantheism: A Spirituality of Nature and the Universe | Paul Harrison
1 post | 1 read
Richard Dawkins has called pantheism “sexed-up atheism.” At the heart of modern scientific pantheism is reverence for Nature and the Universe. It offers a challenging alternative, beyond theism and atheism, with a joyful approach to our lives and a caring concern for all life on this earth. Pantheism is a 2,500 year-old belief system expressed by many famous thinkers and artists including Lao Tzu, Heraclitus, Spinoza, Wordsworth, Whitman, Emerson, Einstein and Carl Sagan.Today pantheism is seeing a revival as the underlying world view of many environmentalists, of leading scientists, of nature-revering pagans, and of non-theists looking for a more embracing perspective. This accessible and authoritative handbook is the only available introduction to the history, theory and practice of pantheism.Reviews from Amazon Surely one of the most extraordinary books written in recent years about the subject of religion. If you are concerned about the Earth and the way we are treating it in our culture you will want to read this book. Wally WeetProbably the best book to recommend to someone who is no longer comfortable living with the intellectual compromises necessary to maintain a traditional “faith.” George R FaulknerI strongly recommended it to all who feel a profound connection with nature and the universe. C. LacasseExplains in a clear, informative style why pantheism is a workable, honest, and appropriate philosophy and way of life for our times.

"More modern approaches would set out, not to prove that the universe is the 'God' mentioned in scriptures, but to show that the universe is worthy of the deepest reverence, by comparing its real powers with the powers that people think God possesses." [Pg. 36]
