Abstract

Water scarcity has influenced economic, social, cultural, and behavioral development, making it a global concern. This study approaches the crisis not merely as a technical or politico-economic issue as emphasized in previous water justice studies but as an ethical problem. Drawing on Spinoza’s metaphysics of biospheric egalitarianism and collective rationality, it develops the concept of water ethics, which regards water as an entity possessing intrinsic value and the right to exist. Using the interpretivist philosophical method, the study finds that all entities, including water, are modifications of a single substance endowed with conatus—the drive to preserve existence and relate to others on egalitarian terms. From this perspective, the study proposes three fundamental dimensions of water ethics: eco-justice, water rights, and water democracy, forming the basis for a new paradigm that guides humanity toward an ethics of coexistence within the biosphere. It concludes that addressing the water crisis requires a paradigmatic shift from the distributive justice framework of water justice to an ethical awareness of the existence and rights of non-human entities within water ethics.

Abstract

The global ecological crisis calls for deeper interreligious reflection on humanity’s relationship with creation. The Catholic Church, through Pope Francis’ encyclical Laudato Si’, and Islam, through its doctrine of amanah (trusteeship) toward nature, both affirm humanity’s moral responsibility as stewards of creation. Yet, in social and religious practices, these ecological values are often overlooked due to dominant anthropocentric and exploitative paradigms. This study proposes an eco-theological dialogue framework that positions environmental theology as an ethical meeting ground between Catholic and Islamic traditions. Using a qualitative comparative textual analysis of Laudato Si’ and Islamic classical and contemporary sources on amanah, the study finds a profound convergence: the Earth is a divine trust that must be cared for with love, justice, and spiritual responsibility. Both traditions reject environmental exploitation and advocate for faith-based ecological conversion. This dialogue thus provides an ethical foundation for interreligious collaboration toward integral ecology and peace with creation. Keywords: ecotheology, eco-theological dialogue, Laudato Si’, Amanah
