Landscape ontology

Abstract

The article explores, from an onto-poetic perspective the deep connection between the human being and the landscape, arguing that both are interdependent and influence each other. From a sentimentalized perspective it explores how landscape is not only a physical context in which we live, but also an integral part of our existence and spirituality. Through poetic narrative we explore diverse cultural traditions, such as the Quechua, and examine how landscape has been perceived and valued throughout history. At the same time, the article addresses the transformation of the landscape and its impact on humanity, as well as the responsibility of human beings in its conservation and restoration. It emphasizes the need for an integral understanding of landscape that includes ecological, spiritual and cultural aspects. In addition, a critical reflection on the exploitation of the environment and the importance of adopting an attitude of care and respect towards nature is proposed.
