The western roots of sustainable biotechnology and the promise of Mulla Sadra's Islamic cosmology
by John F. Quinn, Joseph A. Petrick
Interdisciplinary Environmental Review (IER), Vol. 2, No. 1, 2000

Abstract: The authors review the three major western cosmological roots of biotechnology and the interdisciplinary challenges that face its sustainable environmental impact. They delineate the Islamic environmental philosophy of Mulla Sadra to provide a non-western cosmological framework for the global challenge presented by sustainable biotechnology. Comparisons and contrasts between the western cosmologies and the cosmology of Mulla Sadra are drawn and two useful human responsibilities in Mulla Sadra's environmental philosophy are treated.
