Call for contributions
Over recent decades, naturalism has progressively become one of the leading positions in
philosophical debate. The contemporary trend in philosophy has often been characterized by
a widespread influence of naturalism both as a methodological and as an ontological
position.
This thematic issue of Metodo will be devoted to the relation between naturalism and
subjectivity. Original contributions regarding the following topics are particularly encouraged:
- The variants of naturalism and their respective accounts of subjectivity. How do the different forms of naturalism relate to with the problem of the naturalization of the first person perspective?
- What are the specific implications of the different naturalistic projects for the understanding of subjectivity?
- What is the philosophical method best equipped for an interdisciplinary dialogue between the natural and the cognitive sciences?
- Given the specific problems of mind, consciousness, and subjectivity, what other possible methods are available?
- Is the phenomenological critique of naturalism necessarily related to the understanding of phenomenology as a transcendental philosophy, and of subjectivity as transcendental subjectivity?
- The concept of nature endorsed in the different versions of naturalism, and the phenomenological concept of nature: How do varied understandings of nature relate to the naturalistic versus anti-naturalistic accounts of subjectivity?
- How do naturalistic projects deal with the personalistic account of subjectivity, values, and ethics?
