Motivation and Goals:

The goal of the "II Workshop on Naturalism" is to promote discussion about various issues related to the methodological challenges of naturalism in the contemporary philosophy, in particular, the intuition commonly held by methodological naturalists that philosophy and science are engaged in the same enterprise, pursuing similar ends and using similar methods. The idea is too promote the debate between methodological naturalists and anti-naturalists, to the extent that methodological anti-naturalists see philosophy as disjoint from science, with distinct ends and methods.
