Abstract :This paper sets to examine how nature has been perceived by the past centuries, where philo-sophical models came up with new ideologies that had a large influence and impact on how Man perceives his natural environment. These models have impacted governments and their decisions regarding the exploitation of natural resources. Yet new technological development such as nanotechnology took a new turn intersecting paths with our surroundings. It has brought philosophical questions around ethics and the consequences that have arisen from government policy and modern advancements in science. With these issues at hand, our ap-prehension and judgments regarding nature need to experience a revision that is consciously aware, so as to be on par with the evolution of new scientific advancements, and new gov-ernment policy to reach a better approach concerning our relation to Nature.
