How does that approach of pragmatic naturalism figure into scholarly research?
A. Into my scholarly research? One of the things that pragmatic naturalism emphasizes very strongly is that conclusions about the world must be grounded in data, and the same applies to public policy issues. One of the things that Sidney Hook for example stressed strongly is that when philosophers become involved in public policy issues they must know the facts. So that it really does stress the use of empirical data and being very careful about the acquisition of that data.
