To combat the ecological crisis, fundamental change is required in how humans perceive nature. This paper proposes that the human–nature bifurcation, a deeply entrenched and environmentally pathological metaphysical mental model, stems from embodied and tacitly held substance-biased belief systems. Process philosophy can aid us, inter alia, in providing an alternative framework for reinterpreting this bifurcation by drawing an ontological bridge between humans and nature, thus providing a coherent philosophical basis for sustainable dwelling. Michael Polanyi’s epistemology can further help us understand these environmentally oriented tacit processes of knowing, and also provide a basis for political and educational implementations of process-philosophical insights, particularly via the nudging of mental models.

重构默认的人与自然关系：对过程哲学和迈克尔·波兰尼哲学的探究

为了应对生态危机，人类对自然的看法需要发生根本性的变化。本文提出，人与自然的分叉是一种根深蒂固的环境病理形而上学心理模型，源于具体化和默认的偏向物质的信念系统。过程哲学可以帮助我们提供一个替代框架，通过在人与自然之间架起本体论桥梁来重新解释这种分叉，从而为可持续住宅提供连贯的哲学基础。Michael Polanyi 的认识论可以进一步帮助我们理解这些以环境为导向的隐性认识过程，并且还为过程哲学见解的政治和教育实施提供了基础，特别是通过推动心智模型。
