The discussion offered in this volume sees the ‘community’ as central to a sustainable and ethical approach to earth and space sciences. The essays examine the role of theology in this communal approach, but recognize theology itself as part of a community of humanities disciplines. The volume acknowledges the plurality of views on the contemporary interaction between science, ethics and theology, aesthetics, philosophy of science and shows how a constructive and sustainable dialogue is needed within the current scientific climate. How the disciplines of theology and earth and space sciences can constructively communicate regarding the rapidly changing ethical challenges? How can we describe the interaction of science and ethics and theology with the view of our future as living beings on a small planet in a vast universe?
