Patrick is an independent academic with a particular concern for the natural world and who has been much influenced by Buddhism.
Patrick begins by reminding us of the parlous state of the earth. As an ecological citizen, he emphasises, “more people must to come to value the Earth, its places and creatures as not only what make life possible, and indeed not only what make life worthwhile, but also to take the next step: which is to value them for their own sakes.” He also identifies, “the terrifying ingenuity and industry with which capitalism instils and encourages an ecocidal attitude and way of life.” He identifies this as a crypto-religion. Against this he advocates valuing nature as sacred. Doing so would, he hopes, at least slow down the destruction sufficiently to give a fighting chance for the Earth and its creatures, including us, to survive and, maybe, even flourish.
