Philosophical-Historical Aspects Of Land Relations (On Example Of Russian North Nations)

Abstract

Among the entire material conditions necessary for existence and activity of people, special position is occupied by Land with its soil mantle, subsurface resources, forestry and waters; this is the first prerequisite and natural basis of any production. Without land neither production nor existence of human being is possible. According to the outstanding modern philosopher\break A.-T. Tymieniecka “Earth in its otherwise mute interplay with our faculties and their employment brings our entire existence to the scene of life. We in all our vital moves establish ties with the soil, climatic conditions, the magnetic field, etc. of our mother earth, that is, with the entire earth system”.

… the passions of the earth are as multiple as the threads that run through the innermost vital existential processes of life and come to be transformed by human creative consciousness into comparably forceful vehicles for the specific orchestration of the human vision … The passions of the earth play an integral role in human striving.
