Hypoteser

I dag har jeg jobbet med et tekst om Allemannsrett. I den forbildelse har jeg lansert to hypoteser:

1. Jo lengre opphold i natur, jo lettere å se naturens egenverdi.
2. Jo raskere/kortere ferdsel i natur, jo mer nytteverdi (fx folkehelse) og oppmerksomhet på natur som kulisse og naturens instrumentelle verdi.

Så begynte jeg på den siste boka til Johan Vetlesen – “The denial of nature” – her på Store Torungen i dag. Der står det helt først:

A study of the increasingly precarious relationship between humans and nature, this book seeks to go beyond work already contributed to the enviromental movement. It does so by highlighting the importance of experiencing, rather than merely theorizing nature, while realizing that such experience is becoming increasingly rare, thus reinforcing the estrangemnt from nature that is a source of its ongoing human-caused destruction. In his original approach to enviromental philosophy, the author argues for the reinstatement of nature´s value outside of it exploitative usefulness for human ends. Such a perspective emphasizes the extent to which the enviromental problem is a concrete reality requiring urgent action, based on a multi-sensous appreciation of human´s dependence on nonhuman lifeforms.

Kanskje ikke så enkelt forklart som hypotesene mine ovenfor, men tror han berører det samme.
