A world-view in which people have an emotional detachment between people and the realms of nature and the supernatural. Animals, trees, rocks, and other things in nature are "its" rather than "thous" and do not have human personalities. This separation of people emotionally from nature allows them to exploit it with little care for its well being. When the characteristics of this type of world-view were first proposed in the early 1950's by robert redfield, it was called a "civilized world-view. " see indigenous world-view.
