Naturalized epistemology as a book category groups works that treat knowledge and justification as natural phenomena to be investigated with the methods of the empirical sciences rather than solely by armchair reflection. Originating with Quine’s critique of traditional epistemology, these books range from philosophical defenses and critiques of the naturalistic turn to interdisciplinary studies that draw on cognitive psychology, neuroscience, evolutionary theory and the philosophy of science to explain how belief-formation, perception, and inference actually work. Typical titles include theoretical accounts advocating reliability- or process-based accounts of justification, empirical research reporting on cognitive mechanisms of learning and reasoning, and critical discussions about the limits and normative implications of naturalizing epistemology. They are aimed at philosophers, cognitive scientists, and advanced students interested in the intersection of philosophy and empirical inquiry into human knowledge.
