AB - This article examines theological and ethical perspectives on the human–nature relationship in the context of the ecological crisis, drawing on John Cobb’s process theology and the concept of the Tao in the Tao Te Ching. Cobb understands God as a personal being who engages the world through persuasion, while the Tao is viewed as the impersonal source and ordering principle of all things.
Despite this difference, both perspectives emphasize the organic interconnectedness and interdependence of humans and nature. They suggest that ecological healing requires a mutually caring relationship grounded in respect for the intrinsic value of nature, and that such a relationship is essential for ecological well-being and sustainable life.
