Abstract	To combat the ecological crisis, fundamental change is required in how humans perceive nature. This paper proposes that the human–nature bifurcation, a deeply entrenched and environmentally pathological metaphysical mental model, stems from embodied and tacitly held substance-biased belief systems. Process philosophy can aid us, inter alia, in providing an alternative framework for reinterpreting this bifurcation by drawing an ontological bridge between humans and nature, thus providing a coherent philosophical basis for sustainable dwelling. Michael Polanyi’s epistemology can further help us understand these environmentally oriented tacit processes of knowing, and also provide a basis for political and educational implementations of process-philosophical insights, particularly via the nudging of mental models.
