Liberal naturalism

Overview

Liberal naturalism is a heterodox form of philosophical naturalism that rejects both scientific (or reductive) naturalism and supernaturalism. It allows that one can respect the explanations and results of the successful sciences without supposing that the sciences are the only resource for understanding humanity and dealings with the world and each other.
