The Eco-Religious Understandings of John B. Cobb, Jr. and Seyyed Hossein Nasr
A Comparative Study
Abstract
The present study deals with the religious moral teachings in connection with environmental sustainability by focusing on some eco-religious understandings of two contemporary scholars John B. Cobb, Jr. and Seyyed Hossein Nasr. By presenting a comparative analysis of their eco-religious views, the paper highlights their distinctive suggestions for ecological sustainability. In so doing, the paper aims to show why their eco-religious views seem essential in addressing the present environmental issues and how their suggestions can motivate humans for protecting the natural environment. It also investigates their thoughts and proposals in light of their respective religious traditions.
