Abstract EN
The present paper attempts to expose how the scientific world-view of nature contributes to the present environmental crisis.
Alongside this, it relates European Renaissance, humanism, secularism, the scientific and industrial revolutions, modern philosophy, scientism, technology-based modern life, consumerism-based modern society, etc.
with current environmental problems.
By focusing on Nasr’s traditional understanding of nature, the paper explores how materialistic and mechanistic world-views are deeply connected with the present ecological crisis.
It also offers a critical analysis of Nasr’s spiritual and religious world-view of nature and examines its relevance.
In doing so, it aims to highlight some demerits of the present world-view, and to call to reform current perceptions of nature by revitalizing traditional wisdom in order to protect the environment from further degradation.
Thus, the paper is scholarly addition to the ongoing discourse on the issue of religions and the environment.
