520 |a This paper is a survey of the anthropological literature pertaining to the term "supernatural". It considers a number of questions: Is the distinction between natural and supernatural universal? Can the distinction be applied to non-western cultures? What does the term mean as a cultural construction and as a response to reality? Finally, it examines the use of the term supernatural in the contemporary cognitive science of religion. The inspiration for the paper arose from the way that anthropologists often fail to problematise the uses and cross-cultural applicability of the term supernatural.
