Christ, in short, asks us to give everything, all our false redemption in the lifeboat, all our false ideas about who God is, all our trust in something other than God to redeem us.

i claim that many patterns of nature are so irregular and fragmented, that, compared with euclid - a term used in this work to denote all of standard geometry - nature exhibits not simply a higher degree but an altogether different level of complexity ... the existence of these patterns challenges us to study these forms that euclid leaves aside as being "formless," to investigate the morphology of the "amorphous."

To the extent that we hyper-separate ourselves from nature and reduce it conceptually in order to justify domination, we not only lose the ability to empathise and to see the non-human sphere in ethical terms, but also get a false sense of our own character and location that includes an illusory sense of autonomy. The failure to see the non-human domain in the richer terms appropriate to ethics licences supposedly ‘purely instrumental’ relationships that distort our perceptions and enframings, impoverish our relations and make us insensitive to dependencies and interconnections.
