Retrobant el sentit humà del paisatge natural

Abstract

In this article I would like to propose a trip along an imaginary route of our individual and collective evolution, through our natural landscape and human evolution. As living beings we have observed the landscape over time and we seem to be fully convinced that it is there to be observed from outside, as an accessory to admire or transform it without really feeling part of it. If this were not so it would not be possible to explain the transformation caused by the action of man and which now shows us how dangerous it is to live in a kind of amnesia of consciousness and sensitivity. It seems that the cosmo vision that cultures other than our own have managed to preserve has become, in the socalled developed world, a kind of spiritual exoticism that strikes us as strange but which we resort to when the answer to the disequilibrium cannot be found in hurried superficiality. This premise which we as humans have known for a long time and has been present throughout the evolution of mankind in a dimension that cannot be separated from nature. The harmony of the elements of nature, and consequently man and woman, afford the necessary equilibrium for life and death.
