• Thesis Text:
  1. Ontological Naturalism is the assumption – tacit or explicit – that there are no supernatural entities or causes in nature. "Baker (Lynne Rudder) - Naturalism and the First-Person Perspective: What Is The Problem?" distinguishes two forms of naturalism:-
     1. Weaker: There is no supernatural reality.
     2. Stronger: Science is the arbiter of reality and knowledge.
  2. Methodological Naturalism makes no ontological claims but just adopts the reasonable stance that we should proceed (in the sciences, but also in historical investigations and in everyday life) as though Weak Naturalism were true. This form of naturalism cannot be adopted when addressing supernatural claims, without begging the question. The same goes for Weak Naturalism, of course.
  3. However, Strong Naturalism (in the absence of Methodological Naturalism) might be consistent with supernatural claims. But since supernatural events are – to say the least – rare, it is best to adopt Methodological Naturalism unless forced by the evidence to assume otherwise – and even then, it may be best simply to await further evidence or the advance of science.
  4. What Baker terms Strong Naturalism seems to be the same as, or to include, Naturalised Epistemology. I suppose "Kornblith (Hilary) - Naturalizing Epistemology" would be a good place to start.
  5. I don’t understand Baker’s choice of terms. The bald statement that ‘there are no supernatural entities or causes in nature’ seems to be a stronger assertion than ‘Science is the arbiter of reality and knowledge’. For all we know, science might one day be forced to include supernatural entities in its ontology, though – as noted – Methodological Naturalism would make this a very last resort.
  6. I just note in passing that “naturalisation” – that is, explaining in fully naturalistic terms (possibly involving reduction²) – is a process that can be applied to just about any field.
  7. I leave it as an open question at this stage whether naturalism is equivalent to physicalism³, implies it, is implied by it, or is orthogonal to it.
  8. The relevance of this topic to my Thesis stems from my interest in the Christian Materialists⁴, and also from the topic of resurrection⁵, or other “possibilities” of post-mortem survival⁶.
