Of nature is both a philosophy book in which tap questions the nature of good and evil, that of natural science. Natural gradation of forms of being located in the same field of thought but questions the particularities of nature, the so-called monsters in the human species (genetic abnormality) and accidents of nature in the plants, stones (priapolites -pierres to the phallic shape) but also in humans, such as sirens, the giants of Patagonia, the men fish, etc ...
