Reviews
For those who retain a post-orthodox religious temperament in post-modernity, Robert S. Corrington's evolving account of Ecstatic Naturalism might prove a challenging, engaging framework for a transcendental naturalism... Those inclined to an experiential, naturalistic view of religion should find his provocative philosophical theology intriguing... The essay collection may function best as a complement to Corrington's two latest works, Deep Pantheism: Toward a New Transcendentalism (2015) and Nature's Sublime: An Essay in Aesthetic Naturalism (2013), careful explications of his evolving, mature, systematic approach... Corrington's Ecstatic Naturalism helps reveal those hidden potencies that so much of our modern social constructs serve to obscure. Transactions of the Charles S. Peirce Society Robert S. Corrington's creative, if unruly, take on American and Continental philosophy, psychology, and sacred aesthetics is refracted and reflected in this thoughtful collection, which will repay its readers in the pure thrill of speculation and thinking oriented toward the possibilities of the sacred emerging from the ground of nature naturing. This collection of essays is a welcome addition to growing effects of Corrington's ardent explication of ecstatic naturalism. -- Roger Ward, Georgetown College A Philosophy of Sacred Nature offers readers a detailed account of Robert S. Corrington's ecstatic naturalism as well as a consideration of the exciting directions in which Corrington's philosophy can be taken. Niemoczynski and Nguyen have done an admirable job of editing this collection, which brings together some of the best contemporary scholarship on ecstatic naturalism and shows its significance for philosophy, religion, society, aesthetics, the environment, metaphysics, and theology. This work will inspire a large number of readers from many different fields. -- Michael Strawser, University of Central Florida
