The dialectic centers around how normativity can be understood within a naturalistic worldview. My ultimate conclusion is that the most plausible form of naturalism will be one which in fact leaves room for normativity--metaphysically, epistemically, and semantically/pragmatically. I identify the great mistake of prior philosophical understandings of the manifest image as the mistake of taking it as an ontology, or as a theory of what exists. Finally, I come to support Huw Price's subject naturalism. 2021-05-19 English text Kent State University Honors College / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ksuhonors1620235630790957 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ksuhonors1620235630790957 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
