ReEarthing the Human Mind
Journal Article
In this excerpt from her book, ‘The Nature Embedded Mind’, Julie Brams challenges the assumption that cruelty and ecological destruction are simply “human nature.” She suggests instead that modern behavior reflects a civilization built on separation from Earth. By reclaiming a “Self-as-Earth” awareness, she argues, we can restore belonging, responsibility, and the possibility of sustainable culture.
