Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) championed a profound connection between humanity and the natural world, emphasizing the importance of sensory and emotional experiences in our interaction with it. While his contemporaries pursued universal laws, Humboldt advocated for a more intimate engagement with nature, suggesting that it be felt rather than merely observed.

Humboldt likened nature to a delicate web, where every component is intricately linked; disturbing one element risks unraveling the entire tapestry.
