What is Nature?

Nature as an academic topic appears across a wide range of disciplines, from biology and environmental science to literature, psychology, and philosophy. Students are asked to engage with it because it sits at the intersection of empirical inquiry and humanistic interpretation, making it productively complex. Questions about what is natural—whether in human behavior, literary settings, social structures, or biological systems—invite critical thinking that resists simple answers. The recurring tension between nature and nurture, for example, raises fundamental questions about identity, ability, and the role of environment in shaping individuals, which gives the topic lasting relevance across courses.

The papers collected here reflect a genuinely diverse range of approaches. Some take a comparative angle, setting texts or systems against one another—such as examining electric and hybrid cars versus gas-powered vehicles, or contrasting figures like Gilgamesh and the Monkey King. Others engage in literary analysis, exploring how nature functions in works like Jack London's "To Build a Fire" or Shakespeare's "Othello." Still others approach nature through a psychological or sociological lens, particularly in discussions of major depressive disorder, the nature versus nurture debate, and leadership behavior. Case-study and policy-oriented approaches also appear, touching on issues like the Oregon Death with Dignity Act.

A strong essay on nature begins with a clearly scoped thesis that specifies which dimension of nature is under examination—biological, environmental, thematic, or philosophical. Evidence carries the most weight when it is drawn directly from primary sources, empirical research, or close textual analysis rather than broad generalization. The most common pitfall is treating "nature" as self-explanatory; defining the term precisely within the essay's specific context is essential to maintaining a coherent argument throughout.

McCloskey's refutation of the cosmological and teleological arguments for God

. A religious individual may, and indeed does, see the world and circumstances form a variant manner to that of McCloskey's. The religious man's assertion bears no hard weight since it is not empirical. But then neither does that of McCloskey's. In the end both are dealing with a metaphysical issue. And that, as Wittgenstein (Ayer, 1989) stated is a different game to that of the physical, scientific realm.
