As the basis for human life, nature presents itself as both resource and threat. Mankind’s challenge is to subdue nature, make it useful, and understand it. This has occurred through cultural, scientific, and technical practices as well as through religion, philosophy, and magic. The volume explores these aspects across epochs and large cultural regions. Die Natur als Basis des menschlichen Lebens stellt sich sowohl als Ressource als auch als Bedrohung dar. Die Herausforderung des Menschen ist, die Natur zu zähmen, sie verfügbar zu machen und verstehen. Dies kann durch die Leistung des Kulturellen, des Wissenschaftlichen und des technisch Praktischen geschehen, aber auch durch ihre Erschließung ihres Sinnes durch Religion, Philosophie und Magie. Der Band widmet sich diesen Aspekten quer über die Epochen und die großen Kulturregionen hinweg.
