Il libro affronta un concetto, quello di natura, tanto comune quanto poco esplorato. Luogo d’intensa riflessione nella filosofia antica, a partire dal Seicento la natura è divenuta sempre più oggetto di analisi scientifica. Ne è derivata una conoscenza vasta e approfondita, ma separata in discipline diverse e, alla fine, disinteressata a ricomporre una visione unitaria di natura. Oggi lo scenario è cambiato. La vastità dell’emergenza ambientale e la globalità della crisi ecologica richiedono un profondo ripensamento di cosa sia oggi la natura. Per farlo occorre affrontare le nuove categorie che scienza e filosofia hanno elaborato negli ultimi decenni, e utilizzarle per ricomporre una sua visione organica. Dopo essere stata “animale”, “libro”, “macchina”, “magazzino”, la natura oggi si presenta con un’immagine che ci coinvolge direttamente, quella di un ecosistema complesso, di cui l’umano è parte integrante, cosciente e responsabile. [Abstract translated by Google Translate: This is the abstract in English… The book focuses on the concept of nature, which is as common as it is little explored. A subject of reflection in ancient philosophy, nature has increasingly become the subject of scientific analysis since the seventeenth century. The result was a vast and in-depth knowledge, but separated into different disciplines and, in the end, disinterested in reconstructing a unitary vision of nature. Today the scenario has changed. The vastness of the environmental emergency and the global ecological crisis require a profound rethinking of what nature is today. To do this, it is necessary to face the new categories that science and philosophy have developed in recent decades, and use them to recompose its organic vision. After having been an "animal", "book", "machine", "warehouse", nature today presents itself with an image that involves us directly, that of a complex ecosystem, of which the human is an integral, conscious and responsible.]
