What do we mean by "men"? Is it a gathering of men, similar to a stack of pieces of wood? No way! The world of humanity in time and space, is not that the sum of the individuals who compose it. It is - that is to say, it makes sense - through what they produce with their hands, mixing in a conflict of traditions, personal memories and collective accumulation of knowledge and rules organization between individuals and social groups. Talking "men" is less meaningful than talking about human society in the making. Another point to clarify why say that it is an evil to depart from nature? The opposite would it not true? A man abandoned naked in the heart of the Amazon rainforest could there live more than a few hours? What civilization if the transition from gathering to agriculture, clans of hunters to town, that is to say a distance of continuous nature.
As for the idea of progress, it refers to a situation considered more profitable than the one we knew before. On this point there is no agreement that this new situation is better than that pre-existed. For some, the consumption is a blessing for others ... the contrary. Is globalization a good or a danger? To live better together, they all rely on tolerance, those on the inalienable right security. All they are confident of being right even if they do not have the same things behind the same words.
remains the question of the nature of the to humans. This is not just biological. The share of self-thinking is manifested by a continuous creation of material products and intellectual relationships that are not of nature but of man . From its origins, humanity is defined as beyond nature. Why bother now divert the binomial-man company this distance progressive with nature?
This clarification does not detract seriously questioning the ability of humans to govern themselves. This issue does not, directly, the relationship between man and nature, but humanity in its own.
