Exploring the concept of naturalness, this book challenges the perception that the natural is inherently superior to the artificial. It investigates the implications of naturalistic arguments across various fields, including politics, ethics, and reasoning, prompting readers to reconsider the validity and influence of these perspectives in everyday life.
