Summary:This paper aims to scope the nature-human relationship in the Anthropocene, the era which is marked by man’s presence as a factor of climate and environmental changes. It is viewed from an educational perspective, considering environmentalist and Marxist viewpoints regarding the question of man and nature. The research of The Epic of Gilgamesh and the ancient Indian epic Bhagavad-Gita underlines the substantial difference between these two perspectives, considering the appearance of man in the historical field as a distinctive aspect. In that sense, literature’s transformative strength, articulated through artistic representations, reshapes human existence, erasing cultural separation between nature and man.
