Religious Perspectives On Environmental Issues: A Study Of The Views Of Seyyed Hossein Nasr

Abstract

Studies have shown that religions can play a vital role in mitigating the current environmental degradation. The present paper focuses on Seyyed Hossein Nasr’s eco-philosophical understanding in connection to the present ecological crisis. By correlating Nasr’s eco-spiritual discussion with the environment, the paper investigates how deeply the human spiritual mind is connected in the ecological equilibrium. It endeavors to relate the present environmental crisis with religious traditions so that faith communities can discern this problem more seriously as their own problem.
