历史上自然对人类精神世界的影响

Effect of Nature on the Human Spiritual World from a Historical Perspective

目前国内史学界对人与自然关系的研究,大多从环境史、生态史入手,相比之下,我们非常有必要加强对自然与人类精神生活关系的探讨。历史上,自然曾作为极其重要的审美对象给人类带来巨大而持久的愉悦;曾对人类宗教意识的萌生产生过重要作用;曾深刻地影响过人类的社会观念。

At present, history field studies the relation between human and nature from the views of the environmental and ecological histories. Comparing with this, the relation of nature and human spiritual living must be discussed. In history, nature had brought great and permanent happiness to humankind as an extremely important resource of aesthetics, had an important impact on the emergence of human religionary ideas, and taken very important role in forming some significant social ideas.
