Biblijne i koraniczne argumenty na rzecz zrównoważonych zachowań wobec natury

Języki publikacji

Abstrakty

We observe an ever-increasing role of religions in fighting the environmental crisis. Religious argumentation has enormous potential to shape the attitudes of the followers of religions. Applying this argumentation can signifi-cantly change attitudes towards the environment in the majority of the human population. Christianity and Islam together have over 4 billion followers. Here, we present seven common Biblical and Quranic issues that are key to human attitudes to nature. The conducted analysis leads to a surprising conclusion. The Bible and Quran similarly encourage their followers to build harmonious relations with the natural world.

Obserwujemy coraz większą rolę religii w walce z kryzysem ekologicznym. Argumentacja religijna ma ogromny potencjał kształtowania postaw wyznawców religii. Zastosowanie tej argumentacji może znacząco zmienić postawy wobec środowiska u większości populacji ludzkiej. Chrześcijaństwo i islam razem mają ponad 4 miliardy wyznawców. W tej pracy przedstawiamy siedem powszechnych zagadnień biblijnych i koranicznych, które są kluczowe dla stosunku człowieka do natury. Przeprowadzona analiza prowadzi do zaskakującego wniosku. Biblia i Koran w podobny sposób zachęcają swoich wyznawców do budowania harmonijnych relacji ze światem przyrody.
