求助一道题

这是LAST黄皮书上P25上的一道题:

if the artificial is not better than the natural,to what end are all the arts of life?To dig,the plow,to build ,to were clothes--all are direct violations of the injunction to follow nature.

If the author's argument were challenged on the grounds that the construction of buildings has adverse effects on the natural environment,which of the following replies might the author use to respond to the challenge logically?

答案是Even if the natural environment is disturbed by the construction of buildings,it is impruved for human use.

原文中的观点到底是什么啊?这段话有点看不懂...什么叫to what end?...哪位大虾可以指点一下啊?谢谢啊!
