Abstract
Scientific naturalists have proposed different strategies to solve the so-called “placement problem” – that is, how the features of the ordinary view should be conceived under the assumption that our legitimate ontology is entirely dictated by natural science. Liberal naturalists, however, tend to be very skeptical about these attempts and have proposed some promising ways of reconceptualizing the entire question. This article presents a genealogy of the placement problem, argues that the scientific naturalists’ attempts to solve it are deeply unsatisfying, and hints at some liberal naturalist proposals for dissolving it.
