Mary Taylor’s „Ecology on One’s Knees: Reading Laudato Si’” suggests that any attempt to read the encyclical through a strictly political, ecological, or economic lens misses its point: that the true key to reading reality itself, in all its beauty and grandeur, is the Creator God. Often recalling the vision of Dante, Taylor proposes that „the logic of ‘creation as gift’” is the encyclical’s radiant center foundational principle.
