Abstract

Cuando se trata de nuestra relación con la naturaleza, no hay forma de escapar de la tensión entre percepción y proyección. A menudo, lo que descubrimos en la naturaleza es lo que antes pusimos en ella. En consecuencia, la forma en que los naturalistas han contribuido a la misión de ‘la humanidad ha de conocerse a sí misma’, sólo puede entenderse en el contexto del cristal con que se mire el espejo de la naturaleza. Dado que no nos es posible quitarnos los cristales de esas gafas, la segunda mejor opción que nos queda es comparar otras alternativas.
