Welcome to thenaturalphilosopher.com. The website of P H Ellson, author of The Beautiful Union of science, philosophy and religion.
Why 'The Natural Philosopher.com'?
Having spent many years in research both broad and deep, and then felt prompted to share it with the world, I realised that this world requires labels; hooks to hang knowledge on: scientist; theologian etc. At an early stage, it seemed to me that, throughout the ages, natural philosophers were those involved in the broadest, deepest and least fettered research, and that this situation continues to this day when all other knowledge gathering is specialised, the participants usually educated and certified to work in a particular channel and to approach the work in a specified manner. As my research continued, I naturally looked at the definitions of all the major means of knowledge acquisition. I also looked deep into the past and into etymology. It became obvious that, should I have to use a label, natural philosopher would be the one. The role of a natural philosopher is to work outside 'the box'. Therefore it is fortuitous that natural philosophy has not been institutionalised in some academic package. A natural philosopher will be recognised by what he or she says and does, not by any certification. Your response to my work will form my credentials. The core of this work is presented in
The Beautiful Union of science, philosophy and religion.
