About this Item

Paperback. For thousands of years we have tried to study, interpret and teach ourselves ABOUT Nature from our own point of view, through the lenses of our telescopes, microscopes and binocular eyesight directed outwards. We see a rigidly framed objective picture 'out there' that does not include our selves yet upon which we project our own image and psychology. This one-way view has brought us into profound conflict with our natural origins and one another. 'NaturesScope' evokes a different view, FROM Nature, which brings human beings and the world into empathic mutual relationship. It assists us in enquiring imaginatively and creatively into how to turn the narrowed down objective worldview around and see our selves and our world through nature's fluid lens of mutual inclusion. People who have experienced this view of natural inclusion have found it a source of profound inspiration. 'NaturesScope' offers a new way of relating to our natural evolutionary origins and one another that inspires empathy and co-creativity. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

About this title

Synopsis

For thousands of years we have tried to study, interpret and teach ourselves ABOUT Nature from our own point of view, through the lenses of our telescopes, microscopes and binocular eyesight directed outwards. We see a rigidly framed objective picture ‘out there’ that does not include our selves yet upon which we project our own image and psychology. This one-way view has brought us into profound conflict with our natural origins and one another. ‘NaturesScope’ evokes a different view, FROM Nature, which brings human beings and the world into empathic mutual relationship. It assists us in enquiring imaginatively and creatively into how to turn the narrowed down objective worldview around and see our selves and our world through nature’s fluid lens of mutual inclusion. People who have experienced this view of natural inclusion have found it a source of profound inspiration.
