To many philosophical sensibilities the expression "Pragmatic Naturalism" may sound like a sort of oxymoron. We have a good news: it is not. John Ryder's new book The Things on Heaven and Earth will not persuade perhaps the most reluctant partisans of both sides, but it certainly shows how "pragmatic naturalism" is not necessarily a contradictio in adjecto, but rather an exciting theoretical approach. After reading this book, one acquires the confidence that pragmatic naturalism can be a valuable tool to deal satisfactorily with a good number of issues debated in virtually all fields of contemporary philosophy. This remarkable defense of pragmatic naturalism is also an instance of the best pragmatic legacy in terms of methodological fluidity and theoretical openness while using a convincing and clear style of argumentation. 2
