Natural Criteria

Natural criteria are standards or rules based on inherent, observable qualities of things, rather than arbitrary or external factors. They help us evaluate or choose based on what naturally distinguishes one thing from another. For example, selecting the fastest runner by actual speed, rather than by someone’s opinion, uses natural criteria. These criteria are grounded in facts and consistent characteristics, providing an objective way to make judgments or decisions in various contexts like science, ethics, or decision-making.
