unnatürliches

Unnatürlich refers to something that deviates from the natural order, established norms, or inherent characteristics of a given entity or phenomenon. It implies a departure from what is considered typical, organic, or spontaneously occurring. This concept can be applied across various domains, including nature, human behavior, and artificial creations.

In a biological context, something unnatural might describe a condition or organism that has been significantly altered by external forces, such as genetic modification or environmental pollution. It can also refer to processes that do not occur through natural selection or evolution. In philosophy and ethics, the term can describe actions or states that are perceived as morally wrong or contrary to human nature.

The concept of unnatural is often contrasted with natural, which typically denotes what is inherent, spontaneous, and follows established patterns. However, the distinction between natural and unnatural can be subjective and culturally influenced. What one society or individual deems unnatural, another may consider acceptable or even desirable. This subjectivity means that the definition and application of "unnatürlich" are not always fixed and can evolve over time. Furthermore, the term can carry a negative connotation, suggesting something artificial, forced, or potentially harmful, though this is not always the case.
