Membangun Alam Pikir Ekoteologis: Sebuah Refleksi Teologis Atas Tesis Lynn White
Abstract
Abstract
Ecological destruction is a global phenomenon that demands a paradigm change and a new attitude towards the earth as the shared home of all creation. The increasingly of environmental damage is influenced by human paradigms and actions, resulting in exploitative and destructive actions against the earth. Historian Lynn White points out that Western Christian traditions contribute to today's ecological damage. White proposed Francis of Asisi as a "role model" of attitudes and behaviors towards the universe. The research method used in this research is the literature study. This study spread the discourse around White's thesis that produces 4 values of ecological spirituality as an effort to build ecotheological thought towards sustainable communities internalized in environmentally friendly attitudes and behaviors, namely: One, from anthroposentris to Human and non-Human Partnerships. Two, from instrumentalia to intrinsic. Three, from pantheism to panentheism, and the last from self centered to other directed.
Keywords: Ecotheologies, Tesis Lynn White, Sustainable community
