Abstract
The article presents an analysis of alternative attitudes to nature originating from diverse spiritual systems that “redefine” human-nature dichotomy as a mainstream relation of the “Western” world. It places it within the environmentality framework, as proposed by R. Fletcher, identifying it as truth environmentality – a specific form of environmental governance that “produces” individuals who care about the environment on the basis of establishing (or revealing) deep spiritual connection with it. The article explores this connection and the various models and methods for living with nature and outlines some potential contributions of the spiritual systems to the envisioned new models of environmental governance.
Keywords: human-nature dichotomy; spiritual systems; truth environmentality; nature conservation
