If you read the link, he's clearly attacking the study of philosophy as a whole.

I don't think it misrepresents it at all. I wasn't reading "natural world" as being strictly a scientific thing.

"natural world" is the term used by greek philosophers to describe cosmos and motions. It is the same as a "scientific thing".
