Dr. Octavi Piulats argues that the roots of industrial societies' disconnection from Nature reside not only in the economic growth model but also in the semi-unconscious values inherited from Western religions. This essay proposes a journey through the history of religions—from prehistoric animism to Christian monotheism—to restore the concept of \"the Sacred\" and redefine our relationship with the natural environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book explores the connection between monotheism and the neglect of the natural world, arguing that certain religious structures have contributed to an anthropocentric vision that disparages the intrinsic value of Nature. Through an overview of prehistoric animism, Egyptian henotheism, Hellenic polytheism, and Christian monotheism, the author analyzes how each tradition has shaped our perception of the sacred. The work not only critiques the Western model but also proposes a new \"ecoreligion\" that integrates spirituality with an ecological ethic, seeking to restore a sense of reverence toward the natural world as a basis for sustainable coexistence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRelationship between religion and the ecological crisis in the industrial age.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCritique of monotheism as a factor in the disconnection from Nature.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eComparative history of religions: animism, henotheism, polytheism, and monotheism.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eReconstruction of the concept of \"the Sacred\" as a spiritual and ecological foundation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eProposal for an integrative spirituality that harmonizes faith and ecology.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at readers interested in the intersection of spirituality, ecology, and philosophy of religion.
