10. I propose to postpone (= ignore) the question of what is the best thingto mean by 'natural'. This is partly because I am uncertain about it, inparticular about the extent to which cognitive and cultural factors are allowedto come in. I get the term 'natural' and the idea that naturalness has a placein the metaphysician's toolkit, from Lewis - see his "New Work for a Theoryof Universals, " Australasian Journal of Philosophy, LXI (1983): 343-77,
