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.

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?

Recent scientific and philosophical investigations have re-opened the question of the adequacy of a non-teleological view of nature.

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.

The common perception of nature is that it is an objectified thing “out there” somewhere.

1981
Thus far, the general thrust of the present interpretation of American philosophy has been one of emphasis on the context, on the situation, from which a particular philosophy arises. It remains to define the metaphysical stance involved in the thought of James and Dewey, as well as the relationship of consciousness to reality.

, 2016 The perfectly natural properties and relations are special—they are all and only those that "carve nature at its joints."
