Naturalism

"Naturalism" refers to a number of different topics: Naturalism (philosophy) is any of several philosophical stances which do not claim that phenomena or hypotheses commonly labeled as supernatural necessarily do not exist or are wrong, but insist that they are not inherently different from natural phenomena or hypotheses, and that both supernatural and natural phenomena and hypotheses can be studied by the same methods. Methodological naturalism assumes that observable events in nature are explained only by natu ...

Natural is often used meaning "good", "healthy", or "belonging to human nature". This use can be questioned, as many freely growing plants are poisonous, for example. Natural (♮), in music, are the notes A, B, C, D, E, F, and G, as opposed to the sharps/flats. Иatural, an album by Japanese alternative rock group Orange Range Natu

Naturalism: Encyclopedia - Natural selection

Natural selection is the name Charles Darwin gave to the principal process through which new species emerge, or evolve. Combined with Gregor Mendel's theory of genetic inheritance it forms the basis for modern evolutionary theory. Darwin developed this theory by reconsidering the fact that individual members of a population or species tended to vary slightly from one other. Earlier natural scientists viewed variation negatively, as deviation from an ideal exemplar of the species. Darwin, however saw such variation as being, in princip ...
