Philip Kitcher's Pragmatic Naturalism: An Overview
Augustine Akintunde Farinola
Ethics, Subjectivity and Truth: Contemporary Essays in Philosophy — Palgrave Macmillan
Abstract
An overview and critical analysis of Philip Kitcher's pragmatic naturalism, examining his account of ethics as continuous with naturalistic inquiry. The chapter situates Kitcher's position within broader debates in metaethics and philosophy of science, evaluating his claim that ethical norms can be grounded in a naturalistic account of human flourishing without appeal to objective moral facts.
