surnaturel
(…) Can one then make “metaphysical” synonymous with “SUPERNATURAL”? We are prepared to accept such an analogy, since if one does not go beyond nature-that is to say, the manifest world in its entirety (and not only the world of the senses, which is only an infinitesimal part of it)–one is still in the realm of the physical. Metaphysics is, as we have already said, that which lies beyond and above nature; hence it can properly be described as “SUPERNATURAL.” (MetaOrient)
