  • Abstract in English : The author describes in a rather philosophical way human’s relation with nature. The author is strongly inspired by Buddhism and tries to translate this in a way that fits modern nature conservation and development. Westhoff argued that Man and Nature are not inseparable from one another and denies the dualism of the Western world.
  • Comments/Notes : UTILITY: lecturers/teachers, academic research, students of universities of professional education. Despite the strongly involved philosophical item, a very good readable paper. KEYWORDS: Nature philosophy.
