Concepts of spirituality, intuition, and metaphysics are considered subjectively valuable only, primarily because they are unfalsifiable, and therefore can never progress beyond the realm of personal opinion. Humanistic naturalists are generally concerned with the ethical aspects of "worldview naturalism."[2] For those who do believe in such threats, the thought is that the majority of human history, societies were largely agricultural and hunter-gatherer and lived in relative harmony and balance with nature. ^ Living Issues in Philosophy (4th ed.; New York: American Book Co., 1963): 215-221.
