Jason Martin "Protagoras in Nature"

"Places in themselves are void of any intrinsic meaning" is stated in Landscapes of the Sacred. Now this to me sounds very Protagoras influenced. What is Perception? Perception in one definition is defined as The neurological processes by which such recognition and interpretation are effected. In some way or another humans are different, especially in ones neurological processes. Protagoras once said that “A human being is the measure of all things-of things that are, that they are, and of things that are not, that they are not." When he says this quote most say it to be his explanation of the measure of all things. Socrates, who later analyzed Protagoras’ explanation, comes up with this much more universal and easy to understand philosophical quote, “everything is, for me, the way it appears to me, and is, for you, the way it appears to you.” So this sums up why even after a whole semester of the class Wilderness as Sacred Place still leaves everyone with no one clear defition of nature (spiritually).
