Identifying an eco-caring frame
Let's put our thoughts on an "eco-caring frame" here.
It seems to me that what is most critical is to determine what sort of commitments are "outside the frame" -- that way by implication anything not specifically excluded will be considered included. It may also be useful to consider that sorts of positive identifying commitment as well but that seems of secondary importance.
Dogmatic certainty "Original Sin " Manifest destiny Nationalism (Nations?)
Pro-natalism Sense of living "in time" Deterministic materialism
OUTSIDE THE FRAME?
Inside an eco-caring frame...? Understanding that sense of time is a product of genome based life forms Pagan? Ask earth, thank earth, spirit of all things |
OUTSIDE THE FRAME?
"Eternal" souls Predestination Exclusive notions of (God's) chosen people
Intolerant zealotry "Ghosts in the machine" (Deus ex machina) No "Divine Intervention"
Anthropocentrism Linear sense of history (alpha & omega?) Mechanistic conceptions of nature
Totalitarian Agriculture Hierarchy of worth God in charge--fixed outcome Nihilism???
Just curious, but I was wondering if outside the frame should include other types of exclusion besides religion. What I mean is maybe people who consider race more important, like white supremachists. In the idea that people should be able to accept each other enough to work inside an eco-caring frame. Again, just an idea. -->Lisa
