Philosophy 1 Mr.Dyck assignment
Naturalism is described as "nature, as gradually discovered by our intelligence using the tools of experience, reason, and science". It believes that everything we believe is within a box and there is no supernatural world. The problems that can be posed with naturalism as far as reality goes is that no reality is real and that it is just everyones chemicals in there brains. Also they cant explain anything outside the realm of science, so any supernatural thought or our own minds cant be explained accurately at all. It also cannot describe any type of truth. Because it says that we all should follow nature and our own human nature. So it cannot give us any real intepretation on society as how it is. Also there can be no knowledge but just chemicals reacting in the brain. So everything we think we know is simply product of chemicals. So naturalism in no way can describe accurately the world around us, our brains minds and counsciousness and also cannot give any type of example of any sort of truth. So naturalism in no way can accurately describe the world that is which makes it sort of a joke to me. They worship science as god and then claim all religion is god.
