NATURE
[A216/B263] After giving the three Analogies of Experience, Kant defines nature as follows: "By nature, in the empirical sense, we understand the connection of appearances as regards their existence according to necessary rules, that is, according to laws". The Analogies provide "transcendental laws of nature", which he also characterizes as "a priori propositions that are intellectual and at the same time synthetic". (Here he discusses why synthetic apriori truths, such those in the Analogies of Experience, the Anticipations of Perception, and the Principle of Sufficient Reason, cannot be proved dogmatically.)

Marcel Proust
When the mind has a tendency to dream, it is a mistake to keep dreams away from it, to ration its dreams. So long as you distract your mind from its dreams, it will not know them for what they are; you will always be being taken in by the appearance of things, because you will not have grasped their true nature.

Nature
Nature, in the broadest sense, is equivalent to the natural world, physical universe, material world or material universe. "Nature" refers to the phenomena of the physical world, and also to life in general. The term generally does not include manufactured objects and human interaction unless qualified in ways such as, e.g., "human nature" or "the whole of nature". Nature is also generally distinguished from the supernatural. It ranges in scale from the subatomic to the galactic.
