Answer to Question #271625 in Philosophy for sz100

Question

Given that there are different ways to define nature, how should we decide which definition to use for which purposes? Is it just a matter of personal opinion or can we make arguments to show that some definitions and uses are not appropriate for some purposes?

Answer 1

Nature can be defined from the perspective of creation. In this case, nature is just the existence of creatures or the entire components of human surrounding considered not to be made by human being. Therefore, concerning the contradictive views concerning the nature, all other definitions are appropriate provided there are proves and facts for the definition.
