Clase natural

En filosofía una clase natural es un conjunto considerado ontológicamente real, es decir, no resultante de una agrupación artificial de elementos elaborada por uno o varios sujetos humanos en virtud de criterios subjetivos.

El término "clase natural" fue incorporado a la filosofía contemporánea por Willard van Orman Quine en su ensayo "Natural Kinds": cualquier conjunto de objetos forma una clase natural si y solo si es "proyectable", es decir, que los juicios realizados acerca de algún miembro de ese conjunto pueden ser plausiblemente extendidos por un científico por razonamiento inductivo a otros miembros.
