<p>Larry Laudan (Philosophy of Science, 57(1), 44–59, Studies in History and Philosophy of Science, 21(2), 315–322) proposes and defends a naturalistic philosophy of science called normative naturalism. The paper will delineate the cardinal features of normative naturalism and some of the critiques against it. The objective of the paper is to present an analytical review of normative naturalism. The objections raised in this paper are limited to evaluating Laudan’s normative naturalism in the light of his theory of axiology. We will assess whether Laudan’s interpretation of the hierarchical model is historically accurate, the instrumental conception of scientific methodology, and the naturalness of the axiological criterion. The analysis of Laudan’s account of axiology reveals some inherent contradictions in his normative naturalism. We propose a strategy to rectify these inconsistencies in order to make Laudan’s normative naturalism compatible with his naturalistic project.</p>
