Abstract

The ancient civilizations had great respect and admiration for nature because they conceived it as a sacred living entity. This conception was changing as soon as the human being felt the owner of the land, now it is “something" that can be exploited, so this desacralization brought as a consequence the use and pollution. 

It can be observed in this sense, that the interpretation of nature has fallen into the interpretative extremes, on the one hand the ancient civilizations conceived it as something magical-sacred and on the other hand, in modernity, as a usable object. Both conceptions are opposed, to build a more mediating, balanced and fair interpretation of nature, which does not generate so many environmental problems, it is essential to conceive it in a proportional sense. Analog hermeneutics will help us to change the extremist interpretation, so we will deal with it below.
