belief that only natural laws, entities and forces operate in the universe / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It is a kind of philosophy called metaphysical, because it covers everything: "nature is all there is, and all basic truths are truths of nature".[4]
All the things and powers which are commonly called supernatural, such as God, souls or witchcraft do not exist, according to this position.
