Ethics for the Coming Storm: Climate Change and Jewish Thought

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the inadequacies of current environmental discourse, Laurie Zoloth critiques how economic and political language has polarized discussions on global warming without prompting necessary behavioral or structural changes. She proposes an alternative perspective rooted in Jewish thought, drawing from Scripture, the Talmud, and philosophical traditions. Zoloth argues that these texts provide a more effective framework for addressing environmental challenges, encouraging a shift in moral and ethical understanding to foster genuine change.
