Synopsis

In their first volume on the cultural history of nature - published in 1991 under the title Weltbild und Naturaneignung (stw 939) - the authors were concerned about the longevity of traditional patterns of thought and interpretation of metaphysical origin, which survived all modernizations and have maintained themselves into our century.

The title The outer world of the inner world indicates that in the question of the relationship between world view and natural appropriation, the insight becomes increasingly inevitable that it is the inner world that determines our view, our experience of the "outer world" - in this case: nature. Conscious or unconscious options for certain concepts of nature and cultural predispositions in the broadest sense shape the respective perspective and thus the mode of natural appropriation and nature experience, as well as the formulation of nature theories. This insight is the common denominator of the studies published in this volume: »Petrarch and the Mont Ventoux« and »Nature as a benchmark – a headbirth«.
