The Affordances of Mind: Contemplation, Ecology, and Jewish Thought
The present essay outlines some possible frameworks for developing and articulating a Jewish contemplative ecology. The resources for this work within Jewish literary and theological activity are many and vast, stretching from the Hebrew Bible to rabbinic literature and into medieval and modern Jewish thought and philosophy; here I pay special attention to the writings of Jewish mystics, to the works the Kabbalists and Hasidic thinkers who have guided so much of my own intellectual and spiritual journey.
