Alastair McIntosh je autorem, který zkoumá propojení lidí, místa a duchovna s cílem hlouběji porozumět komunitě. Vidí globální krize jako krize lidského stavu, které vyžadují spíše kulturní než politický, ekonomický či technický vývoj. McIntosh, jako kvaker s křesťanským i mezináboženským přesahem, považuje duchovnost za "to, co dává život" a konkrétněji za "život jako viditelnou lásku". Jeho práce, často kontroverzní, se snaží zpochybňovat korporátní a pozemkovou moc.
