Nature, in the broadest sense, is XXXXXalent to the
natural world,
physical world, or
material world. "Nature" refers to the
phenomena of the physical world, and also to
life in general. It ranges in scale from the
subatomic to the
cosmic.
The word
nature is derived from the Latin word
natura, or "essential qualities, innate disposition", and in ancient times, literally meant "birth".
[1] Natura was a Latin translation of the Greek word
physis (φύσις), which originally related to the intrinsic characteristics that plants, animals, and other features of the world develop of their own accord.
[2][3] The concept of nature as a whole, the physical
universe, is one of several expansions of the original notion; it began with certain core applications of the word φύσις by
pre-Socratic philosophers, and has steadily gained currency ever since. This usage was confirmed during the advent of modern
scientific method in the last several centuries.
[4][5]
Within the various uses of the word today, "nature" may refer to the general realm of various types of living plants and animals, and in some cases to the processes associated with inanimate objects–the way that particular types of things exist and change of their own accord, such as the
weather and
geology of the Earth, and the
matter and
energy of which all these things are composed. It is often taken to mean the "
natural environment" or
wilderness–wild animals, rocks, forest, beaches, and in general those things that have not been substantially altered by human intervention, or which persist despite 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". This more traditional concept of natural things which can still be found today implies a distinction between the natural and the artificial, with the artificial being understood as that which has been brought into being by a human
consciousness or a human
mind. Depending on the particular context, the term "natural" might also be distinguished from the
unnatural, the
supernatural, and the
artifactual.
