文档介绍:Analytic Philosophy Without Naturalism
In recent years numerous attempts have been made by analytic philosophers
to naturalize various different domains of philosophical inquiry. All these
attempts have had mon goal of rendering these areas of philosophy
amenable to empirical methods, with the intention of securing for them the
supposedly objective status and broad intellectual appeal currently asso-
ciated with such methods.
This volume brings together internationally recognized analytic philoso-
phers, including Alvin Plantinga, Peter van Inwagen and Robert Audi, to
question the project of naturalism. The articles investigate what it means to
naturalize a domain of philosophical inquiry and look at how it applies to
the various sub-disciplines of philosophy including epistemology, meta-
physics and the philosophy of mind. The issue of whether naturalism is
desirable is raised and the contributors take seriously the possibility that
excellent analytic philosophy can be undertaken without naturalization.
Analytic Philosophy Without Naturalism examines interesting and contentious
methodological issues in analytic philosophy and examines the connections
between philosophy and science.
