Description
About the Book
Based on the author's thesis (Ph. D.)--Duquesne University, 2013, under title Theological foundations for an ethics of cosmocentric transfiguration: navigating the eco-theological poles of conservation, transfiguration, anthropocentrism, and cosmocentrism with regard to the relationship between humans and individual nonhuman animals.Book Synopsis
Preservation and Protest proposes a novel taxonomy of four paradigms of nonhuman theological ethics by exploring the intersection of tensions between value terms and teleological terms. McLaughlin systematically develops the paradigm of cosmocentric transfiguration, arguing that the entire cosmos shares in the eschatological hope of a harmonious participation in Gods triune life. With this paradigm, McLaughlin offers an alternative to anthropocentric and conservationist paradigms within the Christian tradition, an alternative that affirms both scientific claims about natural history and the theological hope for eschatological redemption.
