Humanistic Naturalism
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humanistic_naturalism

Humanistic naturalism is the branch of philosophical naturalism wherein human beings are best able to control and understand the world through use of the scientific method. Concepts of spirituality, intuition, and metaphysics are not pursued because they are unfalsifiable, and therefore can never progress beyond personal opinion. A boundary is not drawn between nature and what lies "beyond" nature; everything is regarded as a result of explainable processes within nature, with nothing lying outside of it.



人文自然主義
人文主義的自然主義

這條維基條目非常短。但短短一段文字，把「人文主義的自然主義」說得清楚。

「人文主義的自然主義」是哲學自然主義裡面的一枝。它指人能夠透過科學方法理解及控制世界。靈性、直覺、形上學等概念由於不能被否證，便無法脫離個人意見的範疇，所以不值得研究。萬事萬物都存在於自然界之內，由可被解釋的過程構成。劃分自然界與所謂「自然界之外」的界線並不存在，因為「自然界之外」無一物，所謂「超自然」並不存在。
