Aristotelian Society Supplementary Volume, 1992
Two varieties of naturalism have been prevalent in 20th Century philosophy: one stems from a pragmatist concern with the primacy of practice over theory, the other from a scientific interest which promotes theory to the front, often at the expense of common practice. In this paper an attempt will be made toward reconciliation.

Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies, 1993
Recent scientific and philosophical investigations have re-opened the question of the adequacy of a non-teleological view of nature. This essay examines the puzzling status of humanity itself within nature, the vexed question of whether the Darwinian principle of evolution through chance mutation, combined with natural selection, can account for what ...

American Literary History, 2008
The spring 2005 issue of American Literary History helps explain the woeful neglect of Howard Horwitz’s book, By the Law of Nature: Form and Value in Nineteenth Century America, published in 1991. Its dust jacket blurb does not in the least exaggerate in describing Horwitz’s examination of the nineteenth century’s heterogeneous discourse of nature as ...

Physics World, 1992
What lies behind the world we observe? Why are there laws of physics? Is there a need for a designer? Why does mathematics work? Why does physics work so well? How far can science go in deciphering the Universe? Will we, one day, know everything?

Natural Computation for Natural Language
Fundamenta Informaticae, 1997Computation not only takes place in provoked contexts of scientific experimentation, but in natural circumstances too. We are going to approach computation in natural contexts. How the nature computes? Turing machines and Chomsky grammars are rewriting systems, and the same is true for Post, Thue, Markov, Lindenmayer and other classes of axiomatic ...

The common perception of nature is that it is an objectified thing “out there” somewhere. This mental view of nature arises from the standard subject–objective dichotomy that tends to define contemporary life. There are human beings, and then there are natural objects (wetlands) and phenomena (sunsets).

Think, 2020
I offer a minimal characterization of naturalism, with ontological, epistemological, psychological and evaluative dimensions. I explain why naturalism is attractive. I note that naturalists disagree among themselves about, among other things, the nature of values, beliefs, and abstractions.

, 2016 The perfectly natural properties and relations are special—they are all and only those that "carve nature at its joints." They act as reference magnets, form a minimal supervenience base, figure in fundamental physics and in the laws of nature, and never divide duplicates within or between worlds.
