  This volume focuses on the question of how and why the concept of nature has changed its meaning in modernity and whether a rearticulation of premodern ideas about nature is possible in the modern world. Building on the work of Eric Voegelin, Leo Strauss, Bernard Lonergan, John Finnis, and others, the book compares and contrasts classical, medieval, and modern conceptions of nature.
