Focusing on mid-20th-century North American debates across science, democracy, history, culture, and religion, the book reconstructs how naturalism evolved into both a method of inquiry and a normative social vision, while uncovering the ideological tensions and ambivalences that accompanied its rise. Crucially, the text offers a deep and rigorous reassessment of foundational figures—most notably providing a long-awaited treatment of Roy Wood Sellars that the contemporary Sellarsian community urgently needs to engage with, alongside pivotal analyses of John Dewey, Sidney Hook, and Arthur Edward Murphy.\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003eThis book will be of interest to researchers and students in theoretical philosophy, history of philosophy, political philosophy, cultural history, and metaphysics.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAntonio Maria Nunziante\u003c\/strong\u003e is an Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Padua.
