Ronald Giere’s Naturalism
Abstract This article presents Ronald Giere’s naturalism, showing its basis in Herbert A. Simon’s notions of limited rationality and satisfaction. It is argued that, despite the interest of his proposal, Giere’s claim to make epistemology a branch of psychology or biology is an overreaction to the apriorist extremes of traditional epistemology and neopositivist logicism. The article concludes with some observations on his position on the issue of truth in science.
