Why physicalism ≠ naturalism? □ There are naturalists that explicitly don't support physicalism (like Dave Chalmers) □ Unification of science might be impossible □ Even if physics is the basic science, and all objects are physical, higher level theories might be representationally irreducible 12
Physicalism & naturalism □ Both presuppose reduction (to physical objects or objects quantified over in natural science) □ Physicalism it is the most popular form of ontological naturalism. It can be reductive representationally and assert unification of science in physics; or it can be metaphysically reductive, and assert that all higher level objects are composed from physical ones. 13
