When does "nature" require an article and why? [duplicate]

Solution 1:

Nature, in this context, means "Mother Nature", so it's more of a proper name in this case, which never requires an article.

'Nature' can also mean "a defining trait" as a general noun, such as "Human nature". In those casees, articles are possible, such as in

it is the nature of the scorpion to sting

I can't think of an example where one would use "a nature", with an indefinite article, except in compound words such as

He is a nature lover

in which case the article refers to the "lover" part, of course.
