HUMAN = EXPLORING THE EQUATION = The
human animal is both a part of and yet distinct from
nature. This relationship between ourselves and the
natural world we inhabit is rich, complicated, and
problematic. This theme explores the connections between
humans and nature by exploring the following questions:
In what ways are humans natural? Is there such a thing
as human nature and, if so, what is it? How are we
related to our larger natural surrounds? How have we
described nature to ourselves? In different times and
places how have humans understood and interacted with
the natural world? How have our understandings of nature
changed? Do we as humans have unique responsibilities
toward the natural world; if so, what are they?
