| Nature, philosophy: nature is usually defined as the part of reality that was not made or designed by humans. No properties can be attributed to nature. E.g. since contradiction is ultimately a language problem, one can say that nature cannot be contradictory. Not all forms of necessity can be attributed to nature, e.g. non-logical necessity and unnecessary existence. See also de re, de dicto, necessity de re, existence._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Judith Butler on Nature - Dictionary of Arguments
Brocker I 741 Nature/Culture/Butler: Butler shakes the scaffold of thinking that refers to human nature. Her book (1) presents a fundamental critique of identity thinking and the nature/culture distinction that Butler continues in her philosophy of the political and ethical subject. This theory conceives subjectivity and the possibility of political action as a balancing act of the self in intersubjective and political relationships. See Identity/Butler, Gender/Butler. Brocker I 748 ButlerVsPsychoanalysis: the assumption that there is a dangerous pre-social drive structure cannot be verified outside the psychoanalytic thinking movement. Social control mechanisms Brocker I 749 are identified as such, but at the same time rationalized with assumptions about their natural necessity. Butler criticizes this setting of a human nature and patriarchal laws that seem inevitable from its constitution. >Psycholanalysis, >Gender roles. 1. Judith Butler, Gender Trouble.
