Abstract
Discussion of the human relationship with nature and its educational consequences with regard to the original, “natural” world and Patočka’s original theory of “three movements of human existence”. The article briefly analyses Jan Patočka’s original theory of “three movements of human existence”: 1) receiving, 2) reproduction, 3) transcendence – from the viewpoint of whole-life education.
These theoretical considerations are confronted with demand for really authentic experience of/with nature in early stages of human development (often claimed by environmentalists). Human relationship with nature is being discussed in terms of existence in the original, “natural” world – with the perspective of its transcendental signification.
