<[BrentNewhall]> Yeah, I'm having a difficult time understanding why Morris Berman makes the statement you quote.  In Medieval times, nature was very much ''feared''.  The notion of nature as a beautiful, harmonious wonderland only started with the poets of the Enlightenment ("the first tree-huggers," as my college Western Civ professor put it).  There was very little sense of "belonging" up to that point.

And, of course, this all appears to ignore the East, which has a completely different set of viewpoints.
