Why Methodological Naturalism?

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingBook chapterResearchpeer-review

I argue in favor of the strategy of methodological naturalism in science; that is, restricting the scope of investigations to the natural world. I argue that this strategy is most plausibly motivated by supernaturalist theism, rather than by metaphysical naturalism.
