Nature
The word nature is
derived from Latin word natura, or ‘‘essential qualities, innate disposition”,
and in ancient times, literally meant ‘‘birth”. In ancient philosophy, Natura
is mostly used as the Latin translation of the Greek word physis, which
originally related to the intrinsic characteristics that plants, animals, and
other features of the world developed of their own accord. The concept of nature
as a whole, the physical universe, is one of several expansions of the original
nation. It began with certain core application of the word by pre-Socratic
method in the last several centuries, nature became the passive reality,
organized and moved by divine law. With the industrial revolution, nature
increasingly intervention, it was hence considered as scared by some traditions
or a mere decorum for divine providence or human history. However, a vitalist
vision of nature, closer to the presocratic
one, got reborn at the same time, especially after Charles Darwin.
Within the various uses of
the word today, ‘‘nature” often refers to geology and wildlife. Nature can
refer to the general realm of living plants and animals, and in some cases to
the processes associated with inaimate objects-the way the particular types of
things exist and change of there own accord, such as the wether and geology of
the earth. It is often taken to mean the ‘‘natural environment” or – wild
animal, rocks, forest, and in genarel those things that have been substantially
altered by human intervention. For example, manufactured objects and human
interaction generally are not considered part of nature. Unless qualified as,
for example , human nature or the whole of nature.
