Abstract

In this paper, I intend to argue in favour of naturalism as the metaphysical foundation of science, showing that the "new realism" of Markus Gabriel is another contemporary version of relativism and idealism and even though Gabriel accepts the Fregean distinction between sense and reference its implications are explicitly anti-naturalistic. Specifically, the argument of naturalism that I am trying to offer here is an open critique of the anti-naturalistic and pseudoscientific consequences of Gabriel's "new realism". Another way of understanding this work is to show that naturalism can be a key piece to understand the contemporary discussion between science and pseudoscience.
