In this chapter I review his own preferred variety, which he most recently labelled ‘science-inspired naturalism’, linking it back to some of his earlier works and mapping it to an overview of the varieties of naturalism and the ‘transcendental naturalism’ that I have recently advocated in dialogue with William James, Heinrich Rickert and Bruno Latour. Drees distinguishes between ‘science-inspired naturalism’, ‘philosophical naturalism’ and ‘religious naturalism’. He argues for science-inspired naturalism and sees philosophical naturalism and religious naturalism as optional choices which are not necessarily implicated by science-inspired naturalism. I assess his claims on naturalism and science, naturalism and philosophy and naturalism and religion. I conclude that his work is compatible with my variety: transcendental naturalism. This means that science must be taken seriously, philosophy must as much as possible refrain from metaphysics and religion must take metaphysics on faith without resorting to supernaturalism. date: 2024-04-01 date_type: published publisher: Springer Nature official_url: https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-52292-5_6 full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 2262402 doi: 10.1007/978-3-031-52292-5_6 lyricists_name: Petersen, Arthur lyricists_id: APETE53 actors_name: Petersen, Arthur actors_id: APETE53 actors_role: owner full_text_status: restricted volume: 8 place_of_pub: Cham, Switzerland pagerange: 73-83 book_title: Science, Religion, the Humanities and Hope: Essays in Honour of Willem B.
