Exploring the insights of Jainism, this book presents a fresh perspective on religious pluralism through the lens of paradox. It delves into the complexities of belief systems, highlighting how Jain principles can inform and enrich interfaith dialogue. By examining the nature of paradox, it challenges conventional views and encourages a deeper understanding of diverse religious experiences.
Addressing the unsustainable trajectory of life on Earth, the authors link environmental crises to social and economic inequalities. They propose the concept of an ecological civilization as a hopeful vision for the future, emphasizing that the end of modern civilization doesn't equate to the end of humanity or life itself. By exploring eight key questions through various philosophical and scientific lenses, the book argues that an ecological civilization is a practical possibility rather than a utopian dream, laying the groundwork for realistic hope and sustainable living.
