Homo natura#
Summary#
Homo natura represents the “terrible original text” of human nature that lies beneath all the vain interpretations and metaphysical embellishments that have been painted over it. Nietzsche calls for translating man back into nature, stripping away the flattering notions that humans are “more” or “higher” or have a “different origin” than other natural beings. This task requires standing before humanity with the same fearless scientific discipline applied to studying other forms of nature, deaf to the enticements of old metaphysical bird-catchers.
