Biophilia is the idea that humans have an innate tendency to connect with nature. The term comes from the ancient Greek for “love of living things” (philia = love/inclination for living things) and was coined by the German-born American psychoanalyst Erich Fromm in his book The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness (1973), in which he defined biophilia as “the passionate love of life and all that is alive”.
