He was one of the most famous and influential figures of his time; he was as famous as Goethe or Darwin. He received a universal education at German universities, but in his view of nature he was most influenced by Goethe&#039;s science. His holistic understanding of nature as a complex interconnected system was shaped by his remarkable adventurous journey to South America (1799-1804), especially his journey through the Andes with the legendary climb to the Chimborazo volcano in Ecuador, where Humboldt&#039;s phytogeography was born in a dialogue with Goethe. He was convinced that without an emotional experience of nature, it is impossible to reach a correct understanding of it. In his research, he combined extensive exact scientific measurements with poetic and aesthetic descriptions of the beauties of tropical wild nature, which influenced Charles Darwin and John Muir; Humboldt had a similarly strong influence on Henry David Thoreau. Like Goethe and the painter CD Friedrich, Humboldt was a great admirer of the landscape of northwestern Bohemia (the Central Bohemian Mountains, the Elbe canyon, the surroundings of Teplice and the Ore Mountains), which he visited several times (1791, 1819, 1837).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&quot;The most dangerous worldview is that of those who have never seen the world.&quot;<\/p><cite>Alexander von Humboldt<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"762\" src=\"https:\/\/potulnauniverzita.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Izotermicka-mapa-Zeme-1024x762.jpg\" alt=\"Izotermick\u00e1 mapa Zem\u011b\" class=\"wp-image-7390\" srcset=\"https:\/\/potulnauniverzita.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Izotermicka-mapa-Zeme-1024x762.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/potulnauniverzita.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Izotermicka-mapa-Zeme-300x223.jpg 300w, https:\/\/potulnauniverzita.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Izotermicka-mapa-Zeme-768x572.jpg 768w, https:\/\/potulnauniverzita.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Izotermicka-mapa-Zeme.jpg 1072w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Isothermal map of the Earth<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-default is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&quot;In the Amazonian forests, as on the peaks of the Andes, I felt that the same life permeated the stones, the plants, and the animals, as well as the heaving chest of humanity, as if animated by a single spirit from pole to pole.&quot;<\/p><cite>Alexander von Humboldt<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"474\" src=\"https:\/\/potulnauniverzita.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Geografie-druhu-rostlin-na-hore-Chimborazo.jpg\" alt=\"Geografie druh\u016f rostlin na ho\u0159e Chimborazo\" class=\"wp-image-7391\" srcset=\"https:\/\/potulnauniverzita.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Geografie-druhu-rostlin-na-hore-Chimborazo.jpg 750w, https:\/\/potulnauniverzita.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Geografie-druhu-rostlin-na-hore-Chimborazo-300x190.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><figcaption>Geography of plant species on Mount Chimborazo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote tw-mb-8 is-style-default is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cIn considering the study of physical phenomena, not merely as they relate to the material necessities of life, but as they bear upon the intellectual progress of mankind, we find as its most noble and important result a knowledge of the chain of connections by which all the forces of nature are connected and mutually dependent.
