The Evolution of the Western View of the Relationship between Man and Nature 10

The relationship between human beings and nature in the process of development is complex. At different times in history, human beings have had different relationships with nature.

In the early historical periods, the relationship between humans and nature was mainly dependent. Humans depend on natural resources for survival and development, such as food, water, fuel, etc. Humans also need to adapt to changes in the natural world, such as climate change, geological movements, etc.

With the development of human civilization, human dependence on nature has gradually weakened. Human beings began to use science and technology to control the natural world, such as the development of agriculture, industry, etc. Humans have also begun to build cities, build transportation systems, etc., making human beings more and more distant from the natural world.

However, as human beings have more and more control over the natural world, human beings have also begun to realize that the destruction of nature has caused negative effects on human development, such as environmental pollution, reduction of biodiversity, etc. This has led to a focus on nature conservation and to try to adopt a more sustainable approach to development.

Therefore, the relationship between human beings and nature in the process of development is complex, with both dependence, control, and protection.

Stages of experience: In the course of human historical development, the development of the relationship between man and nature has gone through four periods——— dependence, exploitation, plunder, and harmony. In different periods, the degree of economic and social development is different, people have different understandings of nature, and they have adopted different attitudes when dealing with nature.

Introduction to the four phases:

Dependence: In primitive societies with extremely low levels of productivity, man and nature are in a relationship of dependence, and man is dependent on nature. On the one hand, human beings obtain everything they need from nature, either directly or through simple means of production, and on the other hand, they have to bear the various threats that nature poses to human existence.

During this period, human beings passively adapted to nature, and their relationship with nature was in a state of primitive harmony.

Development: With the increase of the level of productivity, the use of bronze and iron tools, and after the emergence of agriculture and animal husbandry, human beings began to exploit and utilize natural resources and change nature, so that this relationship entered the development stage. During this period, due to the limited ability of human beings to exploit and utilize nature, no major damage has been caused to nature.

Plunder: With the progress of science and technology and the further improvement of the level of productivity, after the emergence of modern large-scale industrial production, human self-confidence and dissatisfaction with the living environment drive them to "conquer nature" and "rule nature", and take and plunder from nature without restraint.

Harmony: Human beings are rational after all. When this predatory development is unsustainable, the relationship between man and nature enters a new realm——— and man and nature live in harmony.

1.What role does human beings and nature play in the process of human development, and the relationship between human beings and nature has always been a problem that has plagued us.

In the past, people believed that there were gods in the world and revered gods. Human beings can't explain all kinds of mysterious natural phenomena, and they don't know where they have come from and where they are going. People turn this affection for God into a fear of nature.

Later, with the technological development of human beings, the imprisoned thinking was broken. When they found that they could begin to understand nature, they began to focus on themselves, and they realized that human beings could use nature, and they could achieve their own goals by using nature and developing nature. Originally, breaking the shackles to carry out scientific cognition is an affirmation of human wisdom, but it has also deteriorated over time.

Humans swelled, they thought they could conquer nature, and began to plunder nature in a frenzy. Gained a lot, but lost more. Nature has also begun to take revenge on humanity, **, tsunamis, the greenhouse effect, the ozone hole.

Human beings began to realize that the nature they knew was only the tip of the iceberg, so they began to re-respect nature, and began to pay attention to the "harmonious development of man and nature", "scientific use of nature, and the protection of nature through law and morality to avoid more negative effects of nature."

We must rely on technology to achieve healthy economic growth. Through the combination of water saving, energy saving, material saving and environmental protection. Vigorously develop the circular economy to unify human benefits and social benefits, and realize the efficient use and recycling of resources. Achieve green development and green economy.

Correct answer: The human view of nature shows the law of development and evolution of patterning: the basic idea of the ancient human view of nature, the supremacy of nature, the subservience of human beings, the reverence for nature, totem worship, the admiration of ancestors, and negative adaptation.

After the industrial revolution, the number of people infiltrated the use of tools to transform nature to form a huge sense of achievement, thus forming an anthropocentric view of nature, the basic connotation of which is: anthropocentric, nature subordinate, conquer nature, transform nature, advocate tools, plunder management. Since the middle and late stages of the last century, the human beings have reflected on the evil consequences and ecological disasters brought about by anthropocentrism and predatory management, and gradually formed a contemporary ecological view of nature

Equality, mutual benefit, harmonious coexistence, respect for nature, conservation of resources, environmental friendliness, intergenerational fairness. The ecological concept of nature attaches great importance to the construction of a community with a shared future that integrates human society and the natural world, and advocates the harmonious and sustainable coexistence of man and nature, and the sustainable and coordinated development of human society and the natural world.
