Naturalification

The act of explaining all phenomena, including human society, culture, and mind, as natural phenomena subject to the same laws as physical nature. Naturalification erases the distinction between nature and society, reducing social facts to biological or physical facts. It is common in sociobiology, evolutionary psychology, and some strains of materialism. Critics argue that naturalification commits the naturalistic fallacy: what is natural is not necessarily good, and human culture often transcends biological imperatives. It also ignores that social facts are real but not reducible to nature.

Naturalification Example: “The naturalifier explained patriarchy as ‘evolved male dominance strategies,’ ignoring that many societies have been matrilineal or egalitarian. He mistook current social arrangements for eternal nature.”

Naturalomania

An extreme, dogmatic version of naturalification, where everything is reduced to nature, and any appeal to culture, convention, or freedom is dismissed as “supernatural” or “anti‑science.” Naturalomania is common in strong‑restricted physicalism and some anti‑humanist circles. It denies the reality of social constructions (money, law, marriage) as mere illusions. Critics argue that naturalomania is itself a social construction—a product of a particular historical moment and culture. It is a form of reductionism that cannot account for its own emergence.

Naturalomania Example: “The naturalomaniac claimed that money is ‘just paper’ and that value is an illusion. He tried to buy coffee with this insight. The barista did not agree.”
