Abstract: The Argument from Reason (AFR) claims to show that standard 
naturalistic views of the human person are unable to provide a satisfactory 
explanation of the ability of humans to engage in rational thought. This 
inability puts naturalism at a considerable disadvantage in comparison with 
alternative views such as theism. The AFR assumes that naturalism includes 
the causal closure of the material domain. Most naturalists do make this 
assumption, but a few naturalists, including Graham Oppy, reject causal 
closure and thereby escape from the force of the AFR first stage. This 
paper proceeds with the “second stage” of the AFR, showing that the 
rejection of closure leads to several other consequences that naturalists 
will find unacceptable.
