![]() Human beings’ prolonged relationship with nonhuman nature “has largely derived from modernity’s irrational fear of nature and hence has created an antagonism between humans and their environments,” which Simon Estok refers to as “ecophobia.” Estok’s definition of ‘ecophobia,’ emphasizing the irrationality of the antagonism towards nature, demonstrates that the relationship between human and nonhuman nature requires new considerations. Human beings are aware that ecological life on earth has been exploited beyond recognition, and limited restraints have been exercised on that capacity. Certainly, at the beginning of the twenty-first century, we live in an epoch in which the future, or even the human race’s survival, is at stake. ![]()
