ABSTRACT
In his lecture, Peter van Inwagen gives answers to the questions of what ‘naturalism’ and ‘analytical philosophy’ are. His main point is that there is no inner connection between being an analytical philosopher and being a naturalist. Of course, most analytical philosophers today are naturalists. Likewise, most naturalists are analytical philosophers. This fact, however, is a contingent matter. Analytical philosophy, as such, does not commit itself to naturalism and naturalism does not commit itself to analytical philosophy.
