Abstract: This paper considers several debates within theoretical and practical philosophy in which certain forms of naturalism are in conflict with anti-naturalistic interpretations of morality, especially within the field of ethics. An important reaction to this conflict is Wilfrid Sellars’ integrative worldview that includes both the “manifest image” and the “scientific image” of man. On the basis of Sellars’ worldview and with the help of an analysis of linguistic behavior, the framework of a nomological realism is developed which combines an extended naturalism with a Kantian conception of normative constraints. This integrative approach can avoid both eliminativism and the fallacies of traditional realism, especially its reification of values.
