Abstract
Through all ages and countries the human beeings have yearned toward nature as a producing capacity of all things. It is true on the one hand, as Kant said in his Critique of Judgment, that our interest in its infinite capacity rises combined with the moral sense. But on the other hand he made clear in his Critique of Pure Reason that a mechanism of violence is also working secretly in the yearning toward nature. Because we picture to ourselves nature as unlimited power of our 'technique' with which we controle it by force. Kant's critical theory on 'physico-theology' is even now a suggestive touchstone for us. when we reexamine the notion of 'nature' in German romanticism. Is it free from kantian critique?
