Book Reviews of Gay and Gaia: Ethics, Ecology, and the Erotic
Book Review: complex, thoughtful discussion of ethical issues
Summary: 5 Stars
Daniel Spencer's book is a thoughtful treatment of the issue ofecological justice in dialogue with several different methods ofreligious/ethical inquiry and a number of important authors who have also written on this issue. It connects (I think rightly) issues about the body, sexuality, erotic relationships, and various components of social justice in their relationship with one another and the question of solicitude for the planet and its creatures. I wouldn't have believed such a project could hold together if I hadn't seen it done with Daniel Spencer's competence and concern.It not only articulates the urgency of the issues it addresses, but provides a step-by-step, multi-dimensional, full-bodied approach to ethical reasoning in general. A book about how to think ethically -- not a partisan book about what to think about when one thinks ethically -- but still forceful and prophetic in presenting its claims. Excellent work.
