Scientific naturalism is the view that the natural world—governed by empirical laws and observable phenomena—is the only realm that can meaningfully be understood. It holds that science, through its methods of observation, experimentation, and reasoning, is the best way to explain and predict phenomena, relegating supernatural explanations to the realm of myth or untestable belief. This perspective supports a commitment to evidence-based inquiry and reason, asserting that concepts in ethics, metaphysics, or mind must also be grounded in natural, often scientific, explanations.
