John Burroughs

    3 april 1837 – 29 maart 1921

    John Burroughs was een vooraanstaande Amerikaanse natuur-essayist en filosoof. Zijn geschriften, grotendeels verzamelde essays, onderzoeken de kruising van natuur en filosofie. Burroughs formuleerde een persoonlijke religie gericht op ontzag en nieuwsgierigheid naar het universum. Hij werd gevierd als de "Grote Oude Man van de Natuur", wiens invloed op het genre van natuur-essays werd vergeleken met die van Thoreau.
