this world

In response to those who think Clark is distinctly biased, the concept of "this world empiricism" seems to imply the possibility of another world to which some appeal to help explain events or ideas in this world. However, as noted in my last entry, every one, 'naturalists' and 'supernaturalists', experience what Clark refers to as 'this world'. As Jansen put eloquently, 'this world empiricism' is merely an attitude adopted for discussion, considering the context. Naturalists do not adhere to any 'supernatural' explanations, but 'this world empiricists' can, and those who do, put it aside for the 'this world' context, this is a distinct difference between naturalism and 'this world empiricism'.
