Wilderness And Freedom

In the long history of human development,nature and freedom,as the subject of history,are always facing the two survival states.On the other hand,the progressive human being entering the age of civilization will still look back and try to return to the natural state of nature.Thus,the dual variation of nature and freedom constitutes a unique thread of human survival and self-reflection,which has been pursued by thinkers throughout the ages from ancient Greek natural philosophy to modern natural theology.In modern and contemporary times,American thinkers also pay attention to the pair of categories of nature and freedom,and most of their thoughts on nature focus on wilderness,because wilderness is the original nature of nature.In the process of exploring wilderness,americans have picked the free fruits of their national ideology and national ideology.Therefore,while exploring the wilderness proposition,American thinkers also formed the unique wilderness view of freedom.American view of wilderness freedom is a new response to the dual variation of nature and freedom since ancient Greece.It holds that wilderness is not the symbol of ignorance,but the cornerstone of human growth and the harbor to overcome modernity.American view of wilderness freedom is not the freedom of ancient people to follow nature,nor the freedom of modern people to conquer nature,but the internal unity of natural freedom and free nature.As a kind of internal freedom with the true meaning,the American wilderness view of freedom is a kind of freedom to return to its original simplicity and a fuller and more substantial freedom.Therefore,the wilderness view of freedom can be an effective method to deal with modern nihility.It provides modern people with a more open vision,so that they get rid of the narrow and banal life;It gives modern people a higher spiritual goal,that is,to know themselves,to achieve their own,to have a more meaningful life.American wilderness freedom view regards wilderness and human environment as "one world",protects all living places with "wildness",and calls on people to return to the wilderness and explore a civilization that wildness can tolerate."One world" emphasizes the understanding of integrity,which is an open ecological vision,not limited to the category of primitive wilderness,but to find a balance between civilization and wilderness.Therefore,man is not only free in the wilderness,but also free from "alienation" in the civilized society to realize himself.
