Beautiful Nature Wallpapers for your Phones and Desktop which makes you feel so pleasant. Nature in the broadest sense is the physical world or the universe. "Nature" can refer to the phenomena of the physical world as well as to life in general. The study of nature is a large, if not the only, part of science. Although humans are part of nature, human activity is often understood as a separate category from other natural phenomena.[1] The word nature is borrowed from the Old French naturel and is derived from the Latin word natura, or "basic qualities, innate disposition", and in ancient times literally meant "birth".[2] In ancient philosophy, natura is mostly used as a Latin translation of the Greek word physis (φύσις), which originally related to the self-evolving intrinsic properties of plants, animals, and other features of the world.[3][3] 4] The concept of nature as a whole, the physical universe, is one of several extensions of the original concept;[1] it began with certain basic applications of the word φύσις by pre-Socratic philosophers (although the word then had a dynamic dimension, especially for Heraclitus) and has steadily gained currency ever since . During the advent of modern scientific methods in the last few centuries, nature became a passive reality, organized and governed by divine laws.[5][6] With the industrial revolution, nature was increasingly understood as part of a reality devoid of intentional intervention: it was therefore considered sacred by some traditions (Rousseau, American Transcendentalism) or a mere decorum for divine providence or human history (Hegel, Marx). At the same time, however, a vitalist vision of nature, closer to the pre-Socratic one, was reborn, especially after Charles Darwin.[1] Among the various uses of the word today, "nature" often refers to geology and wildlife. Nature can refer to the general realm of living plants and animals, and in some cases to the processes associated with inanimate objects—the way certain kinds of things exist and change on their own, such as the weather and geology of the Earth. It is often taken to mean "the natural environment" or wilderness—wild animals, rocks, forests, and generally those things that have not been substantially altered by human intervention, or that persist despite human intervention. For example, manufactured objects and human interaction are generally not considered part of nature unless qualified as, for example, "human nature" or "all of nature". This more traditional conception 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 created by human consciousness or the human mind. Depending on the particular context, the term "natural" can also be distinguished from unnatural or supernatural.
