Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophy has traditionally been seen as oriented toward human (all too human) affairs, nature present in it as backdrop or atmosphere, but not on its own terms a central focus of his work. Yet Nietzsche was well informed about the natural science of his era and particularly attuned to the importance of figures such as Charles Darwin. Building upon John Richardson's Nietzsche's New Darwinism, this essay explores the relation between Nietzsche's ethics, psychology, and philosophy of history and Darwinian evolutionary theory – not just Darwin as understood by the 19th-century reception of his ideas (heavily shaped by social Darwinist ideologies), but as foundational for a contemporary understanding of ecological and environmental concerns. Anticipating some of the implications of Darwinian thought in the 20th century, Nietzsche's writings help sharpen our awareness of the tensions between social and natural selection, biological and social diversity, and (genetic) fate and (willed) destiny – all crucial for environmental debates of the 21st century.

尼采自然

弗里德里希·尼采的哲学传统上被认为是针对人类（太人类）事务的，自然是作为背景或氛围出现的，但其本身并不是其工作的重点。尼采对他那个时代的自然科学非常了解，特别是对诸如查尔斯·达尔文（Charles Darwin）这样的人物的重要性感到特别关注。本文以约翰·理查森（John Richardson）的尼采（Nietzsche）的新达尔文主义为基础，探讨了尼采的伦理学，心理学，历史哲学与达尔文进化论之间的关系-不仅仅是19世纪接受他的思想所理解的达尔文（社会达尔文主义意识形态在很大程度上塑造了达尔文） ，但作为当代了解生态和环境问题的基础。
