Bron Taylor: Dark Green Religion

2009.12.26.

Commonly, dark green religious and moral sentiments are embedded in worldviews and narratives that are believed to cohere with science— but they are also often grounded in mystical or intuitive knowledge that is beyond the reach of scientific method. To perceive how dark green religion emerges, diversifies, and spreads, it is important to understand the basic pro cesses within this creative, increasingly global milieu. Such an understanding also helps to explain why, even when certain types and tendencies of dark green religion can be identified, the boundaries between them remain permeable, blurred, and perpetually shifting— much like the boundaries of religion itself.
