Abstract: | John Muir (1838-1914), a Scottish born American writer, philosopher, naturalist, farmer, mountaineer, inventor and conservationist, never wrote a philosophical treatise on his “wilderness theology”, as Max Oelschlaeger defined Muir’s biocentric perspective on nature, but indeed produced a voluminous set of works that disclose his belief that man is part of nature in the same way as plants, animals and rocks are, thus abandoning the anthropocentric viewpoint on nature. |
