Nature and the Natural [PDF]

open access: possibleBioSocieties, 2008
As part of my interest in the persistence of unproductive debates about the relative importance of nature and nurture, I focus here on the especially problematic relation between nature and the natural.

In this paper an attempt will be made toward reconciliation.
