Rabindranath Tagore’s Philosophy of nature : An analysis/ রবীন্দ্রনাথের প্রকৃতি ভাবনা : একটি পর্যালোচনা

Abstract

Rabindranath Tagore was a 20th-century Indian thinker who discussed many subjects in his writings, including the environment. This essay will focus on the relationship between nature and humanity in Tagore's philosophy and will discuss the ideal role for humans in this relationship. Although he extensively discussed nature in his stories, novels, essays, plays and songs, this essay will primarily limit its discussion to his environmental essays due to space constraints. The discussion will explore the extent to which his views on environmental issues align with those of environmental ethicists, as well as whether the environmental philosophy found in Vedic literature had any influence on him. Furthermore, it will shed light on how Tagore's ideas about the environment can guide us in solving the environmental problems the entire world faces today.
