Welcome to tabee3i, a home for Metaphysical Naturalists

We have established this website in order to collect some resources for those interested in Metaphysical Naturalism. Here, you can find a collection of essays and encyclopedic definitions and exclusive interviews with public figures.

If you do not believe in the existence of spirits, ghosts and gods and all that is supernatural, then you are a metaphysical naturalist. Metaphysical naturalism is a world view build upon methodological naturalism in which it requires all phenomena be explained solely by natural causes. For long people believed that diseases are caused by evil spirits, envy, or divine tests, they believed lightening is the wrath of god, whereas science, through the scientific method, tells us that lightning and diseases are natural phenomena driven by natural forces. The scientific method is by far our best approach for gaining trustworthy knowledge and with the introduction of Metaphysical Naturalism, we take that one step further into the position that makes the more sense: rejecting the existence of the supernatural.

Similarly, if you believe that the real world contains only those forces and causes that only show mechanical characteristics and can be described mathematically by determinist or probabilistic laws, then you believe in metaphysical Naturalism. more information here: What is Naturalism?

Breaking the Spell: Religion as a Natural Phenomenon

Editorial Reviews: "Breaking the Spell" is Daniel Dennett's most innovative and important work yet; it offers a profound challenge to society and a compelling new history of belief. Few forces in the world are as potent as religion: it comforts people in their suffering and inspires them to both magnificent and terrible deeds. In this provocative and timely book, Dennett seeks to uncover the origins of this power, and discusses why and how different faiths have commanded allegiance and shaped so many lives. He does not contest these beliefs. Rather, he argues passionately for the need to understand this multifaceted phenomenon, and he offers a truly original and comprehensive explanation for religion. What was the psychological and cultural soil in which it first took root? How did it evolve? Is it the product of blind evolutionary instinct or of rational choice? Dennett shows how these ideas could have spread from individual superstitions, via shamanism and the early wild' strains of religion to today's institutionalized systems. Dennett's extraordinary achievement is to weave such a richly detailed narrative, to imagine it so vividly, and to argue for it so forcefully. He brings religion into the realm of real public debate and, in so doing, he breaks the spell.
