Tpaine's Outlook - Metaphysical Naturalism: Is Any One Interested? by tpaine: 11:05pm On Mar 17, 2008
The philosophical system that closely matches my outlook on life is what I have heard describes as metaphysical naturalism. I shall let Wikipedia do all the talking here; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaphysical_naturalism

Check it out. Very interesting indeed.

@tpaine
Interesting article.
However, I hope you noted the arguments AGAINST metaphysical naturalism. Especially ->

Argument from consciousness

Since no one has yet scientifically explained the qualitative nature of conscious experience, otherwise known as qualia, some argue that naturalism is therefore refuted or should not be believed. Proponents of this argument suggest that naturalism's lack of a definite explanation on this matter is not a result of a simple lack of research (which would indicate that science may one day explain qualia), but that naturalism cannot explain qualia because no valid physical explanation exists.





Argument from reason

Some have argued that certain features of human reason cannot be explained by naturalism. For example, it is claimed that naturalism cannot explain intentionality, mental causation, or the existence of logical laws or abstract objects.

You are not only posessed by an unforeseen demon but completely lost in the existence of this world.
