What is the most adequate name for the non-built environment? In this panel we argue that it matters whether we suppose ourselves to be looking at "Nature"as a separate dimension, or conceive of ourselves as children of Gaia, as stakeholders of the "common household", or as parts of the "Web of life". We analyse the background of these different conceptions and assess the implications for anthropology and ecology.
The panel draws upon religious teachings  from Jewish, Christian and Muslim as well as life sciences.
