In recent years numerous attempts have been made by analytic philosophers to naturalize various different domains of philosophical inquiry. All these attempts have had the common 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 associated with such methods. This volume brings together internationally recognized analytic philosophers, 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, metaphysics 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.
