A position that affirms nature while recognizing that "nature" is a concept with a history, a concept that can and should be expanded. Metanaturalism holds that the natural world includes more than current science acknowledges—not supernatural additions, but natural phenomena not yet incorporated into scientific understanding. Consciousness, paranormal experiences, spiritual phenomena—these may be natural, just not yet naturalized. Metanaturalism is naturalism that has learned humility, that knows its current map is incomplete, and that remains open to nature being stranger than we currently imagine.
"Science says near-death experiences are just brain chemistry. Metanaturalism says: maybe brain chemistry is how consciousness does what it does, but the experiences people report—the light, the peace, the meetings—might still be real. Real doesn't mean supernatural; it might mean nature is richer than our models. Stay open, stay curious, stay naturalist but not closed."

Get the Metanaturalism mug.The systematic study of neuroscience itself—a second-order discipline that takes neuroscientific theory, practice, and institutions as its objects of inquiry. Metaneuroscience asks foundational questions about the brain sciences: What assumptions underlie different neuroscientific approaches? How do imaging technologies shape what we can discover? What counts as explanation in neuroscience? How do social and cultural factors influence research agendas? What are the limits of neuroscientific explanation? It also examines the history of neuroscience, the structure of neuroscientific theories, the relationship between neuroscience and other disciplines (psychology, philosophy, artificial intelligence), and the ethical implications of neuroscientific research and application. Metaneuroscience is neuroscience reflecting on itself—the discipline's capacity to examine its own foundations, methods, and assumptions. It's what enables neuroscience to ask not just "how does the brain work?" but "how do we know how the brain works?" and "what might we be missing?"
Example: "His metaneuroscience analysis examined how the metaphor of the brain as computer shapes research questions and interpretations—not wrong, but not neutral either. Different metaphors would produce different neuroscience. The discipline studying itself reveals its own conceptual infrastructure."
