The article focuses on the role that cultural images of nature play in the human activity. The author shows that the Cartesian dualistic approach leads to the alienation of man from his own nature as a bodily experience. Imagination is considered as the link between corporeality and mind. Non-dualistic conception of human being is based on the structural theory of imagination of Gilbert Durand.
