Nature (n.) is, along with society, one of the two organizing conceptual categories of our inherently dualistic modernity. In order to create a truly democratic world, we need to separate ourselves from this dualistic way of organizing beings and understand them in terms of the kinds of relations into which they are capable of entering.
Nature (n.) is not a separate part of the world, but the result of a division that must be understood as political, a division that first and foremost separates the objective from the subjective.
Nature (n.) is, on the one hand, not our construction and therefore transcendent, ultimately exceeding us... on the other hand, we believe that nature is identical to our construction in the laboratory.
Nature (n.) is once a controversy is settled, held up as the cause of accurate descriptions of herself and as the ultimate referee in matters.
Nature (n.) is the result of a political division. It is a site of dispute and dissent.
