Constructing its foundation on biophilia as the love of life, In the Name of the Goddess advances a radical eco-feminist ethic that seeks to end abusive practices, planetary oppression, and endorses a life-centered philosophy. The book goes beyond traditional ethical theories and inspires a dynamic holistic ethic of interconnections, ecological sustainability, and eco-justice. It promotes social harmony and ecological balance through moral, political, spiritual principles and practices on which one may erect a foundation for integrating wisdom and action in our daily lives, communities, and international policies. It is a must-read for anyone interested in such issues as feminism/eco-feminism, nature-based spiritualties, environmental ethics, and social justice. In examining the origins of our Indo-European roots, Donna Giancola presents a novel and provocative comparative analysis of the role of myth in the context of the earliest conceptions of justice. In bringing justice to the forefront, the book lays bare a path that assimilates global sustainability, social activism, convergence of moral reasoning, and ecological care.--Bina Gupta, University of Pennsylvania In the Name of the Goddess: A Biophilic Ethic offers a challenging framework to transform our moral thinking and reconsider our relationship with the natural world.
