Naturalism and Pragmatism offers reflections on the pragmatic
tradition from a fresh perspective: that of a working
neuroscientist. Though naturalism and evolution are not the only
topics of discussions, they are important themes of the book. Both
pragmatism and modern behavioral science grew up in the wake of
Darwin's theory of evolution. Indeed it is impossible to imagine
either without evolutionary theory and the more general
nineteenth-century trend of naturalism from which modern
evolutionary theory emerged. And yet, for a variety of reasons,
these common origins have not ensured a close affinity between
pragmatic philosophy and the behavioral sciences. Among the wide
diversity of scientific theories of human cognition and its
evolutionary origins, only a few are congenial to pragmatism in its
original or classical' form, which embraces the full range of human
experience
