Quinean Naturalism

Quinean Naturalism is a philosophical approach that emphasizes the continuity between philosophy and the natural sciences. It suggests that our understanding of knowledge, including concepts like meaning and truth, should be informed by empirical science rather than abstract reasoning. Philosopher Willard Van Orman Quine argued that there’s no clear boundary between philosophy and science; both explore the same reality. This perspective promotes the idea that our beliefs about the world should be tested and revised based on experience and evidence, blending inquiry in a way that reflects how we naturally learn about our surroundings.
