520			_aThis work is a monograph on Ecophilosophy/ Ecosophy, focusing on the scope of linking its premodern and postmodern expressions. It presents various premodern customs and belief systems of ecological significance and reviews them in light of postmodern critiques. Adopting a relativistic stance, the book proposes a deconstructive and counternormative approach to demonstrate that a "superstition" is not always irrational. It explores the transition from unsystematized to systematized streams of Indian ethos to decode the ecological undertones that prompt the query “Unity or continuity in diversity?” The work presents studies on premodern ecosophical visions in the East and their postmodern parallels.By delineating the dialogical space between the premodern and the postmodern, it proposes that a balanced ecosophical perspective requires both deconstruction and reconstruction of ideas and ideals from the past and present for a sane, secure, and serene future of the earth with the human species as one of its components.
