Nature and Society in Historical Context edited by Mikuláš Teich, Roy Porter, and Bo Gustafsson explores how conceptions of “nature” and “society” have been interlinked throughout history, from ancient Greek thought to modern ecological ideas. A distinguished international team of scholars contributes interdisciplinary essays that examine the reciprocal relationships between how humans understand nature and how societies organize themselves, illuminating the evolution of knowledge and cultural perspectives across time
