Lane explored how politics — in historical reality, in political theory and in philosophical imagery — mediated between ecology and theology in the ancient world, and how they shaped human involvement with nature. In ancient thought, politics were a deliberate and integral step toward understanding and addressing environmental and ecological issues.
