Natural philosophy
Natural philosophy or the philosophy of nature, known in Latin as philosophia naturalis, is a term applied to the objective study of nature and the physical universe that was regnant before the development of modern science. It is considered the counterpart, or to positivists the precursor, of what is now called natural science, especially physics.
