Duality of NATURE

Nature v/s Human Nature


Hello friends,

Does the idea of “nature” provide any kind of ethical touchstone to guide and to limit human impacts on ecosystems or the biochemical basis of life?  And does the idea of “human nature” similarly provide any kind of moral structure to govern our use of biotechnological means to alter human beings?  Many would say no to both questions too quickly, just as many others would too quickly say yes. I believe that we must take a more complex and nuanced position on these fundamental questions. To argue against something—such as hu¬man applications of biotechnology for enhancement of traits—because it will change human nature or is unnatural implies that we know what human nature is, when surely human nature is amorphous and slip¬pery at best. The difficulty of pinning down human na¬ture is one reason that attitudes about nature cannot be plausible unless they are limited and complicated.

Stevenson writes about the duality of human nature – the idea that every single human being has good and evil within them. Stevenson describes how there is a good and an evil side to everyone's personality, but what is important is how you behave and the decisions you make.

This blog explores and reveals the invisible, inviting the viewer to look beyond the seen to appreciate the beauty and mystery of the unseen.

EVERYTHING IN NATURE HAS AN EFFECT ON YOU AND YOU HAVE AN EFFECT ON EVERYTHING IN NATURE

Light and matter are both single entities, and the apparent duality arises in the limitations of our language. It is not surprising that our language should be incapable of describing the processes occurring within the atoms, for, as has been remarked, it was invented to describe the experiences of daily life, and these consist only of processes involving exceedingly large numbers of atoms.

Nature of nature

Nature of 'It would certainly be very interesting to know nature of nature itself. The way I am referring here, it suggests as, "Nature" is referring to the great outdoors, not a characteristic of something else. Bonus: The phrase "the nature of nature" is legitimate English. The first "nature" is using the second definition, whereas the second "nature" is using the first definition.

Human Nature

Duality of Human nature refers to the dual human nature of human beings. This can be seen in everyday life, for example when we meet people who seem to be kind and friendly, were as in reality they could be manipulative and sly. In "The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde" this is seen in a very extreme way.

Human nature is a bundle of characteristics, including ways of thinking, feeling, and acting, which humans are said to have naturally

Another way of thinking about the moral relevance of hu¬man nature is to see it as a logical requirement of (human) moral¬ity. Francis Fukuyama takes this approach. Fukuyama is also the clearest case of some¬one opposed to enhancing human nature who rests the argument on an overarching theory of human nature. Fukuyama famously claims that human nature “is the sum of the behavior and characteristics that are typical of the human species, aris¬ing from genetic rather than environmental factors. Thus, humans are distinguished by an overall set of traits, rather than by any one trait; Fukuyama does not attempt a complete list. In fact, the set would have to be somewhat indeterminate, if only because any at¬tempt to specify “fundamental facts” tends to be in-determinate. Further, the set will consist of ranges of traits rather than precisely specified traits. Because traits are a function of environmental as well as genetic factors, the set of traits “arising from genetic factors” will be unstable; “normal human height,” for example, can change over the generations due to changes in diet. None¬theless, out of this overall general understanding of the range of traits pos¬sible given the human genome emerges what is distinctively human, which Fukuyama calls “the hu¬man essence” or “Factor X.” This is not itself a trait but an emergent property that depends on the entirety of human traits. Thus, though Fukuyama holds that human nature is definable, he does not hold that we can easily articulate human nature:

Most people think that they are separate from nature or at the most a part of nature. This thought limits your potential considerably. Nature is a single unit, and because of this, everything that constitutes it are whole themselves and therefore possess the unique ability to

function as individual units. This is why you can influence something or somebody other  and even vice versa too.

This aspect of life has to be remembered in every word you speak, in every thought you have and reflect in every action you perform, because you are essentially creating while speaking, thinking and working. It is important to bring all three in harmony. You cannot say something butt think something as 'Harmony is essential.'

Similarly, remember that you are being affected by the space around you as well. Hence it is important to collect yourself in silence and meditation. Or else you will think that you are in control, but something else may be going on.

Thank you.
