The main question of this study is that “What is the role of spirituality in resolving the environmental crisis from the viewpoint of Nasr?” The main purpose of this study is the explication of the foregoing claim and answering it based on the content analysis of the collected data. The findings of this research project reveal that from the viewpoint of Nasr, the crisis that exists in the relationship between human and nature in the West is the consequence of rationalism, pure scientism, and absolute humanism. To overcome this crisis, there is no way other than returning to religion, spirituality, and the development of ethical principles about environment within the framework of religion. In other words, the human’s consideration of his status as the divine vicegerent and his responsibility against nature has are crucial in solving this problem.
