چکیده:
Environmental destruction, due to the unfortunate consequences it has brought for humanity, has become one of the greatest challenges of the contemporary world, and for the survival of the entire natural system, including humans, no subject is more important than solving this issue. This crisis first began in the West and was subsequently raised on a global level with the entry of modernity into the East. From Nasr's perspective, the cause of this is the gradual desacralization of nature. Thinkers have proposed solutions to solve the environmental crisis, which are often derived from environmental engineering. While not denying the value of these solutions, he does not consider the scientific method alone to be the solution to the problems, as he believes that empirical sciences themselves are responsible for this crisis. He chooses a metaphysical approach and believes that only by reviving the sacred knowledge of nature can one be liberated from these problems. Although some Muslim thinkers consider traditional natural sciences to be useless in the contemporary era, traditionalists believe that the Islamic tradition possesses rich resources for explaining the philosophy of science. This research, using a descriptive-analytical method, has collected library information and analyzed this perspective. The aim of this research is to critique and review the philosophical dimensions of the crisis. The results of the research show: through this revivalism, both moral principles regarding nature are strengthened and the need of modern humans to establish a spiritual connection with nature is met. Accordingly, this theory can serve as a solution with significant value and an excellent position.

Various perspectives have been proposed by scholars such as Seyyed Hossein Nasr, Lynn White 1, Toynbee 2, Richard Vollrath 3, Mary Tucker 4, Thomas Berry 5, Brown Taylor 6, Louis Montcrief 7, and others regarding the role of religion in responding to the environmental crisis and also in relation to the positive or negative influence of religion on the environment (Abedi et al.
Furthermore, he believes that this crisis is rooted in spiritual, philosophical, and religious dimensions, and only religion and philosophies based on it, as treasuries of the sacred and means of accessing it, can revive the sacred quality of nature (Nasr, 1998: 93).
