Description
The Faithful and the Reasonable - Chapters on Ecological Foolishness (english)
Synopsis
This book is the follow-up to the successful titles "Colourful and Green: and "Half-witted and hesitant: chapters on ecological luxury". The author asks why, at a time of continuing devastation of nature, people's interest in protecting it is declining. Is the media to blame, or is our numbness to environmental problems rooted in our mental structure, which tends to suppress unpleasant realities? The author also wants to find out why some people have remained loyal to nature. To get answers, she applies sociological, philosophical, psychological and theological perspectives. The unexpected question, which may surprise some readers, then becomes: Why should we protect nature when it can take care of itself? It is not weak, it is strong and cruel. Interviews with children of "coloured" people are also conducted by Libro's students Vojtěch Pelikán, Lucie Galčanová and Lukáš Kala: did they inherit their parents' modest lifestyle?
