Abstract:   (1776 Views)
Man, perforce, needs to dominate nature to fashion artifacts or meet his other needs. On the other hand, humane possessions and dominance over nature cannot be unconditional and befall in any form, but rather, must adhere to established ends and boundaries. Now, with all these in mind, the question arises, how should the quality of human dominance over nature be? The answer to this question can be pursued from various perspectives. In this article, we attempt to address a suggestion by proposing an anthropological approach, and this anthropological approach aims to resolve the major axes of human dominance on nature by referring to the structure of human creation. Understanding human beings and the principles that rule them can illustrate how we deal with the world at large, given how artifactualization and dominance are solely granted to the man. Two respective methods have been proposed to demonstrate the sense of dominating over nature and facing artifactualization. First suggested method maintains that defining the structure reigning over body and soul through the connection between, again, one's body and essence (soul) renders the extent of man's nature dominance and the quality of human interactions with nature and artifacts. Meanwhile, the second suggested method is conducted through discerning the general mechanisms ruling the human physical realm. In this way, a series of prevailing rules that refer to facing nature are inferred by pondering the principles governing the human physical body. This discussion can be further employed as a foundation concerning technology issue based on a philosophical approach.
