The Fundamental Naturalistic Impulse: Extending the Reach of Methodological Naturalism
While naturalistic theories have come to dominate the philosophical landscape, there is still little consensus on what “naturalism” means.

Both accounts reflect a methodological naturalism and are defended not based on metaphysical considerations, but in terms of their philosophical fruitfulness. A core theme is that the epistemic inter...
