Alumnus Author: America檚 National Parks & National Heritage
In honor of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the National Park Services, Dr. Adam Seagrave (05) has penned a thoughtful piece for The Public Discourse about the role of the national parks and Nature more broadly in the American political tradition. 淥ver the past 400 years, we Americans have had a very different relationship with nature than the Europeans have, writes Dr. Seagrave, 渁nd this relationship has powerfully informed what is best in our political culture and public discourse.
An assistant professor of political science at Northern Illinois University, Dr. Seagrave is the author of and editor of . A regular contributor to The Public Discourse, Dr. Seagrave observes, 淚t was because of Americans early and unique experience with 楴ature that they came to embrace Locke檚 political philosophy in the eighteenth century, with its emphasis on the importance of natural rights and the natural law for politics. Yet as the country became further removed 渇rom this original experience of nature, through the passage of time and the development of artificial civilization and culture, the original meaning and political significance of nature progressively began to be forgotten. By the early twentieth century, we were ready to 榩rogress beyond the founders and Lincoln檚 ideas, which now seemed na茂ve, about the political relevance of a grand and significant 楴ature.櫇
By restoring our awe, or reverence, for nature, Dr. Seagrave concludes, the National Parks play a vital role in helping Americans to 渃onnect or rather reconnect with something important and distinctive about our national heritage.
