It also examines how Chinese religious teachings offer a wealth of resources to the environmental project of forging new ontologies for humans co-existing with other living beings. Different chapters examine how: Buddhist ontology avoids anthropocentrism, fengshui (Chinese geomancy) can help protect the landscape from economic development, popular religion organizes tree-planting, ancient dream interpretation practices avoided constructing the possessive individual subjectivity of modern consumerism, Buddhist rituals and ethics promoted compassion for animals and modern recycling, Confucian ancestor rituals and tombs have deterred industrial expansion, and also how Daoism’s potential role to deter desertification in northern China was stymied by state operations in contemporary China. A significant advance in the field of Chinese environmental anthropology, the outstanding scholars in this volume provide a unique and much needed contribution to the scholarship on China and the environment.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 227mmItem Length: 161mmItem Width: 24mmItem Weight: 635gContributor: Mayfair Yang (Edited by)Author: Mayfair YangGenre: Philosophy & SpiritualityTopic: Society & Culture, Social SciencesBook Series: Chinese Environmental EthicsRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
