Dark Green Religion
Overview
Dark Green Religion: Nature Spirituality and the Planetary Future is a 2009 book by the American scholar and conservationist Bron Taylor. It is about environmentalism and religiosity and argues that modern interpretations of ecology have spawned a new, global religion which attributes intrinsic value to nature. The book has been criticised for its reliance on family resemblance but its concept of dark green religion has impacted several academic fields and been described as a useful tool for analysis.
