Did your confusion last beyond the first paragraph (or the sixth, if you count the introductory note)
> “Naturalism” is a label for a conceptual framework, investigatory discipline, and semi-formalized way of looking at and learning about the world. I’ve been developing and teaching naturalism for the past couple of years, if you start counting on the day I chose the term, or since 2013, if you take a more historical perspective.
I think my eyes slipped off “if you start counting on the day I chose the term, or since 2013”. If I had registered that sentence I think I wouldn’t have been confused. I remember reading other parts of that paragraph, but the description is vaguely similar to the other naturalism. The reality is I stayed confused with slow bayesian updating towards the hypothesis that this is a different concept, even after having read this + read “Knowing” + skimmed “Naturalism” (skipped to the last post to see if there is a clear definition). At the end I gave up and just fed a couple posts to ChatGPT and ask whether it is the same concept or not.
It was super confusing to me that you aren’t talking about Naturalism in philosophy but a different concept
