“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

Playing devil's advocate...
I think a repetitive question is going to be presented (at least from the activist/anarchic/primitivist area): "why not just call this civilization?"
there's a slight reactive stance in that milieu already towards the ecology without Nature concept because eliminating Nature means re-tooling their language of polemics... or they just don't want to deal with it.
