      abstract = {Environmental ethics arises from the harmfulness of human  beings with respect to non-human species and, more  generally, to the environment. A common starting point for  environmental ethics is that human beings are responsible  for damaging nature. The famous four laws of ecology  express this guilt on the part of human beings, who very  often voluntarily violate the behavioral indications that  emerge from nature itself. Eco-theology suggests when  humans destroy the natural world, we are wounding God. Such  an idea implies a possible coincidence of God with the  natural world. From this assumption, various questions  emerge: what is the kind of coincidence between God and the  natural world? Are God and the ecosystem coextensive? If  so, are we re-sacralizing the natural world and grounding  intrinsic values in theological postulates and statements?  These questions lead us to reconsider the cosmological  assumptions that ground our environmental judgements. This  book will focus on the cosmological assumptions of  pantheism, discussing the symmetrical (or asymmetrical)  relationships between God and the finite ways in which God  manifests Godself. This book is divided into three parts:  first, the question of pantheism is approached from  different traditions and with a special focus on the main  thinkers, from Greek Stoicism to the present day. Second,  current ecological concerns are considered in relation to  pantheistic cosmology: from the discussion of the different  ⁰́b-pan-conceptions⁰́b+ to the problem of evil, to  Anthropocene. Finally, the book will focus on ethical  issues in the field of the current environmental crisis  with a huge connection with the pantheistic cosmologies.  This book is oriented to a wide public, interested in  environmental issues and looking for an approach from  different cultures and traditions. Evidently, due to its  ⁰́b-academic⁰́b+ nature, this book is intended for  researchers interested in eco-theology and the relationship  between pantheism and ecology.},
