Nature has two related clusters of meaning:
- Alternative meaning: Nature (journal)
The first meaning is closer to the Latin origin, natura, meaning birth or character. The second meaning was first recorded in English in 1662.
- innate character or essence ("the true nature of jealousy");
- the material world, especially in its essential form, untainted by human influence ("state of nature").
The natural world
In scale, 'nature' includes everything from the universal to the subatomic. This includes all things animal, plant, and mineral; all natural resources and events (hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes). It also includes the behaviour of living animals, and the processes associated with inanimate objects.
Nature versus nurture
In discussions about the relative importance of genetic and environmental influences on development, the nature/nurture dichotomy (see Nature_versus_nurture) is often advanced. Here both meanings of nature seem to apply: on the one hand, the environment is contrasted with the innate character of the individual in these discussions, and on the other, it is generally supposed that this character is determined by the individual's physical nature (e.g. genetic endowment).
The natural and the artificial
Nature is sometimes simply equated with the universe and all its phenomena other than mind, but more often it refers to the material world exclusive of the influence of humans and especially civilization. This presents a difficulty since humans and their civilizations are part of the material universe. The ambiguity of the boundary between the natural and the artificial animates much of art, literature and philosophy, and is closely related to the mind-body problem.
Related concepts
Natural science is the study of natural processes. All sciences deal with the natural.
"Natural philosophy" formerly named the scientific discipline now known as physics.
Natural theology straddles the disciplines of theology and philosophy of religion.
In education and related areas, the contrast "natural/artificial" can appear as " nature/nurture".
For contrasting/varying concepts, see praeternatural, unnatural and supernatural.
History of the Concept of "Nature"
Historically, things natural received short shrift from civilised (read "artificial") society until the 18th century romantics discovered the joys of the sublime and started gushing about "Nature" (as a personified, capitalised demi-god), visiting countrysides and climbing mountains. The romantic soft-spot for the natural world re-manifested itself in the late 20th century in the Green movement.

Shown are electron micrographs of the family of retroviruses that reproduce in t-lymphocytes. Retroviruses, which cause a variety of naturally occurring cancers in many animal species, also cause cancers in human beings. The first two human retroviruses to be discovered and characterized, human t-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I) and type II (HTLV-II), have been associated with the human cancers known, respectively, as adult t-cell leukemia and hairy cell leukemia. HTLV-III is the AIDS virus, now called HIV-I. Epidemiologic studies have shown that HTLV-I infection and t-cell malignancy both cluster in certain geographic areas and in certain populations, and suggest that transmission occurs in the household, through sexual contacts, and perhaps at birth.

Lexicography | Devil's Dictionary | TREE, n. A tall vegetable intended by nature to serve as a penal apparatus, though through a miscarriage of justice most trees bear only a negligible fruit, or none at all. When naturally fruited, the tree is a beneficient agency of civilization and an important factor in public morals. In the stern West and the sensitive South its fruit (white and black respectively) though not eaten, is agreeable to the public taste and, though not exported, profitable to the general welfare. That the legitimate relation of the tree to justice was no discovery of Judge Lynch (who, indeed, conceded it no primacy over the lamp-post and the bridge-girder) is made plain by the following passage from Morryster, who antedated him by two centuries: While in yt londe I was carried to see ye Ghogo tree, whereof I had hearde moch talk; but sayynge yt I saw naught remarkabyll in it, ye hed manne of ye villayge where it grewe made answer as followeth: "Ye tree is not nowe in fruite, but in his seasonne you shall see dependynge fr. his braunches all soch as have affroynted ye King his Majesty."
