Naturalism is a worldview, a philosophy -- a general understanding of reality and humanity's place within reality. Naturalism is usually defined most briefly as the philosophical conclusion that the only reality is nature, as gradually discovered by our intelligence using the tools of experience, reason, and science. There are numerous sophisticated varieties of naturalism that add details to this brief definition, and this website develops many of them. Welcome to a website about the reasons to be a naturalist, the varieties of philosophical naturalism, and the advantages and disadvantages of each variety. Other websites typically present one type of philosophical naturalism (such as reductive materialism or dual-aspect monism) as the exclusive or best version.
