Summary: In everyday morality, "naturalness" is a positively charged term. It plays a significant role wherever technical progress opens up natural processes to human control. This book enquires into the motives for the privileged position of the (relatively) natural over the (relatively) artificial and seeks out its roots in the history of ideas.
