The space of Nature: cultural substitutes as tools for creating human's living space
Abstract
This paper is an interdisciplinary approach to issue of the human experience of space.
Originally human has been experiencing the space of Nature, looking for a soul in all the forms
of Nature. If we take the space of a human into a consideration then an intuition appears that it is
a part of the space of Nature. Human is one of the species coexisting in the earthly environment.
Unlike the non-human beings, a man has an unique capability and possibility of converting his
living space. From the ecological crisis point of view, the human does it by negatively affecting
the space of Nature, which is the living space of other species. This destabilize the balance of the
physicochemical parameters, decreasing the capacity of the environment. This leads to the thesis
that human decreases the space of Nature, creating instead its cultural substitutes of the living
space (one of the most typical is the virtual reality, Internet). When a human is living in industrial
areas then he has the ability to fulfill himself in many planes he created. This allows to state
a conclusion that because of the cultural substitutes the process of the destruction of the
environment remains relatively unnoticed. As a consequence, the human may notice the
ecological crisis later. Without the system motivating to change the way human acts in the area of
cultural space the change seems to be improbable. It is possible to make it on the ethical and
axiological level.
