Naturalism is currently the most vibrantly
developing approach to philosophy, with naturalised methodologies being applied
across all the philosophical disciplines. While discussions over the
appropriateness of naturalist assumptions are ongoing, many philosophers are
simply forging ahead with a range of interdisciplinary projects that show how
philosophy and various sciences such as biology, psychology and cognitive
science can work hand in hand. The workshop aims to further the development of
naturalism through focussed, friendly discussion in the relaxed atmosphere of a
picturesque historical town.
