After speaking about the nature of philosophy as a method and way of life (the love of wisdom), we will address what is called 'Naturalism' (roughly the view that only nature exists and the natural sciences are our best or only ways of knowing reality). Reasons for and against strict and broad or expansive forms of naturalism will be assessed. All forms of naturalism reject the supernatural. Is "supernatural" the best term to describe the God of Christianity or the soul? Does Christian theism pose an important challenge to secular or religious forms of naturalism?

Charles Taliaferro Ph.D. MA (Brown) MTS (Harvard) MA (URI) BA (Goddard), Professor Emeritus and Overby Distinguished Professor, St. Olaf College, has taught at Notre Dame and U. Mass Boston. He is the author or co-author or editor of 40 books (3 are audio books, available on Amazon). He is currently working on a collection of essays, "Dying to See You!
