At the same time, however, a vitalist vision of nature, closer to the pre-Socratic one, was reborn, especially after Charles Darwin. With the industrial revolution, nature was increasingly understood as part of a reality devoid of intentional intervention: it was therefore considered sacred by some traditions (Rousseau, American Transcendentalism) or a mere decorum for divine providence or human history (Hegel, Marx). During the advent of modern scientific methods in the last few centuries, nature became a passive reality, organized and governed by divine laws. 4] The concept of nature as a whole, the physical universe, is one of several extensions of the original concept it began with certain basic applications of the word φύσις by pre-Socratic philosophers (although the word then had a dynamic dimension, especially for Heraclitus) and has steadily gained currency ever since. In ancient philosophy, natura is mostly used as a Latin translation of the Greek word physis (φύσις), which originally related to the self-evolving intrinsic properties of plants, animals, and other features of the world. The word nature is borrowed from the Old French naturel and is derived from the Latin word natura, or "basic qualities, innate disposition", and in ancient times literally meant "birth". Although humans are part of nature, human activity is often understood as a separate category from other natural phenomena. The study of nature is a large, if not the only, part of science. "Nature" can refer to the phenomena of the physical world as well as to life in general.
