Cry of the Earth, Cry of the Poor by Leonardo Boff

akemi_666's review against another edition

1.0

I really like evolution, quantum physics and systems theory, but Boff is merely appropriating concepts from the aforementioned fields and conflating them with intelligent design without providing any arguments. The book's written as if this should all come across as commonsensical to the reader, but I'm pretty sure none of the previously mentioned theories were generated for that purpose. There's so much promise in this book, an attempt to connect ecology, complexity theory, decolonisation and Christianity, but it's a mess of new age truisms and shallow scholarship.

You'd be better off reading Bookchin, Wallerstein, Che and Taoism.
