the multi-faceted relationship between humanity and nature; consider whether man sees himself as lesser, equal or more sophisticated than nature and why, what do people mean when they refer to 'nature' or 'the wild', what influence does nature/being in nature have on humanity, what is necessary for man to communicate with nature (eg, total immersion, separate etc), does man learn from nature or is he the teacher, what classes of man are closest to man and why/how...etc.
