Philosophy of Nordic Life - E-book - ePub

Nordic philosophies are a set of schools of thought and belief systems that originated in Scandinavian countries, such as Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Iceland. These philosophies are characterized by a worldview that is based on the tradition and culture of the Scandinavian peoples. Some of the central ideas of Nordic philosophies include the importance of individual and personal autonomy, the importance of community and social responsibility, and the connection to nature and the environment.
