As a die‐hard supernaturalist, someone “at two with nature” (Woody Allen) who would be at one with God, the author has mixed feelings about Theodore Nunez's defense of “naturalism.” Unlike neopragmatists, the author is not troubled by Nunez's general realism about value; he takes exception not to Nunez's theoretical account of truth, but to his specific axiology. He does not share Nunez's confidence that “projective nature” can provide reliable moral inspiration, suggesting instead that such inspiration can arise only from trust in the holiness of God
