From nature to culture: the destiny of naturalism in the classical German philosophy

The content transformation of the notion nature in the Classical German philosophy is analyzed in the paper. The notion nature is understood in the social-constructivistic way as a symbol of unity, which implicates the principles of cultural solidarity. The author shows how and why Kantian discovery of constructivistic essence of the notion nature was accepted by Fichte but rejected by Schelling and Hegel.
