Online resources: Summary: If there is a keyword for the twentieth century, it might be alienation. Amid increasing and sometimes chaotic complexity individuals struggle to attain an integrated and stable self. Ecological consciousness has helped post-Enlightenment humans to see how estranged we are from the earth. Societies, too, are internally divided.` `This book recognizes and reveals the connections between these three alienations. People are cut off from themselves, for instance, partly because they are cut off from the natural world around them. Thomas Finger here undertakes a probing `critical conversation` with culture, astutely examining and describing the alienations that haunt us all, and outlining a `constructive trinitarian response` that might mark the beginning of true healing for self, earth, and society.
