Why is it important?
The paper is supposed to contribute to a more balanced view of science by a philosophical viewpoint: the relevance of a general naturalistic outlook is out of question, but the relation science-philosophy within such outlook is to be characterized in much more cooperative terms.
Perspectives
This paper summarizes my work on the topic of naturalism: with it I try to provide a more philosophy-friendly view of naturalism, that still represents the canonical framework in which a reasonable view of the empirical world should be inscribed.
