E-text prepared by Juhani Kärkkäinen and Tapio Riikonen "Luonto ja ihminen: Poimintoja eri teoksista" by John Ruskin is a collection of essays written in the early 20th century. The work explores the relationship between nature and humanity, reflecting Ruskin's profound thoughts on art, aesthetics, and the moral implications of our interactions with the natural world. Central to this discussion is the thesis that the appreciation of beauty in nature elevates humanity and inspires a deeper ethical consciousness. The opening of the text delves into the foundations of taste and aesthetics, suggesting that true appreciation arises from patience and a willingness to delve beneath the surface of appearances. Ruskin articulates the challenge of developing refined sensibilities, which, when nurtured, lead to a deeper understanding and connection to the beauty of the world around us. He emphasizes that the pursuit of knowledge should not be purely utilitarian but rather a means of enhancing our spiritual experience and understanding of life's deeper truths. The themes of imagination, memory, and the power of perception are also introduced, laying the groundwork for a more profound exploration of how these elements shape human experience and interaction with nature throughout the book.
