Definition by raymond williams (philosopher) key words book in 1975 in understanding power and society: nature has 3 different meanings, the essence of things or behaviors of certain beings, nature as a force the natural mother nature", a crime of passion a deep drive inside people to lead people to commit violence, nature as the environment everything that is beyond human interaction. The history of the world imagined in separated in two. In what ways are nature and culture entangled: building a city is in some sense a natural behavior, humans need resources to build upon culture, as the urban expands it reconstitutes the split between urban and rural there is no real distinction between the two, the human species has derived from nature the theory of evolution, the continuation from humans to primates. Environmental crises, species extinction, climate change: the way we think determines the types of actions that we do.
