Man and the Environment: A Study of St. Symeon the New Theologian
by Anestis G. Keselopoulos, translated by Elizabeth Theokritoff

Format: Soft Bound

Description:
In response to the myriad solutions offered by the scientific community, the author, Professor of Ethics and Sociology at the University of Salonika, proposes a theological solution put forth ten centuries ago by the Byzantine mystic, St. Symeon the New Theologian. More a vision than a concrete solution, St. Symeon's perception of the human being relative to the universe provides a gauge for use of scientific data. St. Symeon expounds upon the misuse of material goods, social inequality due to privatizing what belongs to the community and waste due to excessive wealth. He bemoans the rape of the earth. 170 pages.
