Sumario:This contribution aims to show that Spaemann’s research on the history of the concept of nature, specifically its de-telologization in the modern era, constitutes a heuristic principle for approaching many cultural phenomena, thus making his work particularly relevant in dialogue with contemporary thought. Perhaps because it functions rather freely and on its own terms, hindering its easy assimilation into any of philosophy’s dominant currents, Spaemann’s philosophical work presents a particularly lucid confrontation with contemporary thought and culture. It ultimately reflects his own conception of philosophy, which he sees as a more personal, historically situated endeavor than as a scientific enterprise.
