Reply to comment by [deleted] in The philosophy of Martin Heidegger who argued that the Technological mindset has destroyed our relationship to the world so that Nature is seen as so many resources to exploit. He presents an alternative: a poetic relationship to the world by thelivingphilosophy

To support what OP says - although I am not a historian and can't confirm larger sentiment - if you read Chief Seattle's letter to the government you get that perspective.

Wholeheartedly agree with that perspective in the sense that we are ..ants crawling around and buying and selling land is kinda like buying and selling planets - we actually never OWN shit in the first place. Pretty sure nature is going to be fine, been around for billions of years, we nurse from it for a bit and it graciously allows us to not die for a bit.
