ABSTRACT This article examines the role that anarchist geographer Élisée Reclus attributed to nature as a moral and political teacher capable of enhancing human wellbeing and community. After showing that Reclus’s programmatic essay ‘Du sentiment de la nature’ makes an urgent case for re-sensitizing modern people to nature, I examine how his popular science book Histoire d’un ruisseau seeks to implement this pedagogy. While arguing that nature’s integrity matters foremost for the sake of human material wellbeing, Reclus refused to exclude beauty from that category, arguing that receptivity to beauty reflected a society’s relationship to justice and the natural world.

Natura Magistra Vitae：ÉliséeReclus的历史D'un Ruisseau中的自然教学法

摘要本文探讨了无政府主义者地理学家ÉliséeReclus认为自然是道德和政治老师的角色，能够增进人类福祉和社区。在展示了雷克鲁斯（Reclus）的程序性论文“自然的情感”为使现代人重新认识自然提供了紧迫的案例之后，我考察了他的通俗科学著作《历史鲁斯多历史》（Histoire d'un ruisseau）如何寻求实施这种教学法。尽管为了人类的物质福祉，大自然的完整性至关重要，但雷克鲁斯拒绝将美排除在这一类别之外，他认为对美的接受反映了社会与正义和自然世界的关系。
