Religion, Culture And Environment
This document outlines a lecture on religion, culture and the environment. It discusses Lynn White Jr.'s argument that Judeo-Christian beliefs encouraged domination over nature. It also examines perspectives on Hinduism, including arguments that its holism fostered environmentalism, but notes issues with textual analysis and some beliefs involving dualism and purity that could impact the environment. It concludes that religious texts can be interpreted variably, behavior does not always follow beliefs, and local framings may better address environmental issues than cosmological perspectives.
