In this opening chapter, I primarily set the stage by outlining the overall aims and central arguments of the book. Although naturalism remains one of the most popular isms among philosophers, its contemporary interpretations are far from uniform. I deliberately take as the minimal delamination of naturalism in philosophy Quine’s dictum that philosophy is continuous with science. The book as a whole may be then read as a development and defense of this dictum. Secondarily, this chapter also sketches the prospects and purposes of a philosophy understood in naturalistic terms. Following the insights of Wilfrid Sellars as well as Eric Schliesser, I propose that properly understood naturalistic philosophy should have synoptic and synthetizing aims. Finally, I briefly elaborate on how this particular understanding of philosophy’s aims brings us close to pragmatism à la Richard Rorty and Robert Brandom—an approach that also holds the potential to bridge analytic and continental traditions of doing philosophy.
