A recent book, Eco-Alchemy, by Harvard Professor of Divinity Dan McKanan provides an insightful look into environmentalism and anthroposophy, and into their intrinsic overlap. The topic is an ambitious one, as evidenced by the book{'}s subtitle: Anthroposophy and the History and Future of Environmentalism. A retelling of environmentalism{'}s story would be a daunting project in itself, much less inserting anthroposophy into it.
In this essay, I aim to use McKanan{'}s book as a point of departure to discuss the relationships between the two. In doing so, I{'}ll note some of the book{'}s highlights regarding nodes of intersection and consider some of the points where McKanan has fallen short either in overemphasis or in oversimplification.{\&}nbsp;
