Naturalism and civilization (1927-1947)
This paper analyzes the specific shift in the meaning of “civilization” that took place in texts and documents of early American philosophical naturalism. Particularly, it will focus on the specific role that naturalization plays in the edification of a newly secularized, science-oriented, and democratic society, as well as of a naturalized conception of culture and civilization. Indeed, as the work of many philosophers and intellectuals of the F…
Placing Culture in Nature: Notes from the Mid-twentieth Century American Anthropological Debate
Focusing on early twentieth-century American anthropological discourse, this paper examines diverse epistemological approaches to integrating culture within a naturalistic framework. Leslie Alvin White’s materialistic and energy-based “culturology” will be contrasted with Louis Kroeber’s emergentist perspective. Through a detailed examination of some key epistemic stances, I will illustrate how American cultural anthropology grappled with the dua…

Tropes variations: The topic of particulars beyond Sellars’s myth of the given
The aim of this paper is twofold. First, I would like to bring into the light the almost unexplored Sellars’s theory of particulars.

It is difficult to establ…
