| Summary: | During the past few decades, a radical shift has occurred in how philosophers conceive of the relation between science and philosophy. A great number of analytic philosophers have adopted what is commonly called a "naturalistic" approach, arguing that their inquiries ought to be in some sense continuous with science. Where early analytic philosophers often relied on a sharp distinction between science and philosophy, the former an empirical discipline concerned with fact, the latter an a priori discipline concerned with meaning, philosophers today largely follow Willard Van Orman Quine (1908-2000) in his seminal rejection of this distinction. |
