Man And Nature by Seyyed Hossein Nasr
The Spiritual Crisis of Modern Man
The book argues that the modern ecological crisis is rooted not merely in technological or economic factors but in a deeper spiritual and metaphysical rupture: Western materialist science and secularism have desacralized nature, reduced the world to inert matter, and eroded a hierarchical, sacred cosmology that once guided human conduct toward the environment. It calls for a recovery of traditional religious and metaphysical perspectives, a reintegration of spiritual principles with scientific knowledge (a ‘sacred science’), and cultural and institutional reforms that restore reverence, limits, and ethical stewardship so that humanity can live in harmony with the natural order rather than exploit it.
