The branch of thought that asks whether the supernatural exists, and if so, what that means for our understanding of reality, morality, and whether we should be nice to strangers in case they're angels in disguise. It grapples with questions like: If miracles are possible, why are they so rare and always ambiguous? If God intervenes in human affairs, why is the intervention always a "subtle nudge" rather than, say, solving world hunger? And if ghosts exist, why do they spend all their time in drafty hallways rather than, say, the VIP section of nice restaurants? Supernatural philosophy is the art of asking questions that have no answers, but at least the questions sound profound.
