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.
