Synopsis

In this comprehensive exploration of the rich relationship between humans and nature from ancient Greece to the modern era, the author delves into a fascinating evolution of our collective consciousness. The book examines how our appreciation of the natural world has shifted over time, from the animistic beliefs of ancient India to the transcendentalism of Christianity and the sentimentalism of the Romantics. Through detailed analysis of literature, art, and philosophy, the author traces the emergence of a subjective and individualistic perspective in our perception of nature, culminating in the profound interconnectedness we recognize today. The book sheds light on how our ever-changing relationship with nature has shaped our understanding of ourselves and our place in the cosmos, offering a valuable contribution to our understanding of environmental consciousness.
