Following contemporary research and especially John McDowell, I argue that the concept of nature needs to be extended beyond the realms of the physical and the biological to encompass properties that are not innate but produced by education and are part of the make-up of a human being. Moreover, I argue that we cannot make sense of the idea of the human being as natural, or as an animal, without deeply revising the traditional Western concept of an animal as fully subjected to its biological make-up. This revision makes it possible to consider all aspects biological and social that make up the life of a human animal.
