Intradisciplinary and/or interdisciplinary implications: Ecological hermeneutics (part of liberation theology or hermeneutics) challenges traditional theologies’ often anthropocentric bias in the intra-disciplinary arena. It respects the interconnectedness or interdependence of human and non-human life, including the non-organic, empirically substantiated by natural science. This shared realisation allows for a fruitful inter-disciplinary discourse with science to address the global ecological crisis.
