Reductionism is the method of reducing the supernatural to the natural (biological), i.e., spirit (mind and its abilities) to firing of neurons and movement of chemicals. Thus it can be said that man has no soul/spirit because it cannot be weighed, measured, tested, touched, etc.

What do you call the counterpoint to reducionism that expands every question to a quagmire of metaphysical navel-gazing that produces answers that cannot be conveyed?
