Love as a Way of Being and Knowing

  • David L. Haberman (author)
Chapter of: Living Earth Community: Multiple Ways of Being and Knowing(pp. 101–108)
Focusing on religion and ecology in Hinduism, this chapter elucidates the value of love and devotion as ways of connecting to the natural world. In contrast to the detachment that characterizes abstractly intellectual forms of knowledge, these ways of connecting to nature yield emotional or affective knowledge, which promotes care for the beauty and vulnerability of the natural world.
