The Concept of Nature (book)

"The Concept of Nature" is a philosophical exploration by John Dewey that examines how humans perceive and interact with the natural world. Dewey argues that nature is not just a backdrop for human activity but is integral to our experience, influencing our thoughts, behaviors, and culture. He emphasizes the interconnectedness of human life and the environment, advocating for a pragmatic approach to understanding nature—informed by science and reflective of human experiences. Ultimately, Dewey posits that recognizing this relationship can lead to a more harmonious existence with the natural world.
