Abstract

Our investigation will start from na analysis of the concept of “nature” from the greeks, being extended to other historical eras, however, we will emphasize the transformations that the concept suffered in diferent eras. After the greek conception we saw how in the Middle Ages the idea of nature was restricted to biblical precepts, showing man as the lord and power holder on earth, being able to enjoy everything at his pleasure. Differently, the modern paradigm has in nature something that must be known and explored by the knowledge of technique and Science from the desire of industrial capitalism. Only in contemporary times we demonstrate that it retaques the idea that everything is related to everything as everyone were just one, this is, a great and big organism.
