Non-natural properties

Non-natural properties are characteristics or qualities that do not derive from the physical or natural world. Instead, they are often associated with human concepts, values, or moral judgments, such as beauty, goodness, or meaning. These properties cannot be measured or observed in the same way as natural properties, like mass or color. In philosophy, discussions about non-natural properties often explore how we understand ethics, aesthetics, and metaphysics, raising questions about what it means for something to have value or significance beyond mere physical existence.
