У [[Филозофија|филозофији]], '''натурализам''' је "идеја или уверење, да само природни (а не натприродни или духовни) закони и силе делују у свету".<ref>Oxford English Dictionary Online [http://www.oed.com/view/Entry/125337?redirectedFrom=naturalism naturalism]</ref>

Присталице натурализма (тј., натуралисти) тврде да су закони природе закони који одређују структуру и понашање универзума и да се промене [[Свемир|свемира]] производ ових закона.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/10713a.htm|title=CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Naturalism|date=21 November 2009|quote=Naturalism is not so much a special system as a point of view or tendency common to a number of philosophical and religious systems; not so much a well-defined set of positive and negative doctrines as an attitude or spirit pervading and influencing many doctrines. As the name implies, this tendency consists essentially in looking upon nature as the one original and fundamental source of all that exists, and in attempting to explain everything in terms of nature. Either the limits of nature are also the limits of existing reality, or at least the first cause, [[cosmological argument|if its existence is found necessary]], has nothing to do with the working of natural agencies. All events, therefore, find their adequate explanation within nature itself. But, as the terms nature and natural are themselves used in more than one sense, the term naturalism is also far from having one fixed meaning.|accessdate = 6. 3. 2012}}</ref>
