The concept of identity in naturalism

Authors

  • Guido Imaguire

Abstract

Naturalism in philosophy is characterized by the assumption that nature is the whole of reality. Thus, the naturalist must try to show how concepts considered irreducible and trans-natural by traditional transcendental philosophy can be reduced to categories of natural science. In this article I analyze two strategies of reducing the notion of identity in naturalism proposed respectively by Quine and Wittgenstein.

Key words: Naturalism, Identity, Quine, Wittgenstein.
