7. Existence / C. Structure of Existence / 5. Supervenience / c. Significance of supervenience

9500	If naturalism refers to supervenience, that leaves necessary entities untouched [Bird]
	Full Idea: If one's naturalistic principles are formulated in terms of supervenience, then necessary entities are left untouched.
	From: Alexander Bird (Nature's Metaphysics [2007], 5.5)
	A reaction: I take this to be part of the reason why some people like supervenience - that it leaves a pure 'space of reasons' which is unreachable from the flesh and blood inside a cranium. Personall I like the space of reasons, but I drop the 'pure'.
