Harmless Naturalism
The Limits of Science and Nature of Philosophy

Robert Almeder

In seeking to defend a form of naturalism that avoids both scientism and the reduction of philosophy to science, Robert Almeder defines philosophy and distinguishes it from the domain of natural science by showing how a good philosophical explanation, while empirically testable, differs from a good scientific explanation.

"An important contribution to the contemporary debate over naturalism in epistemology. Well organized, clearly written, and uniformly non-technical, this book engages the most significant recent literature on epistemological naturalism, and develops an important new approach to naturalism in epistemology."
