Harmless Naturalism

 

Argues against scientific naturalism, or scientism, which holds that the only legitimate claims about the world are those that can be tested by the methods of the natural sciences and proposes instead a rationally defensible form of naturalism that does not reduce philosophical explanations to scientific ones.

Beschrijving Harmless Naturalism

Scientific naturalism, or scientism, is the theory that science has all the answers. This book argues that not all philosophical explanations can be reduced to scientific ones. Refuting support for scientism, it suggests that reliabilist and causal theories of epistemic justification are unsound.
