Description
Exploring the relationship between metaphysics and the sciences, this Element presents and critically examines the methodological issues that arise when these two fields intersect. It offers a taxonomy of possible views on naturalism and anti-naturalism, providing insight into the debate surrounding philosophical 'naturalism'.
The book delves deeper into milder forms of naturalism about metaphysics, examining how they attempt to make it continuous with science while preserving autonomy for it. It also addresses the pressing open problem of theory choice and the value of non-empirical factors in determining explanation preferences.
