During the late nineteenth century, the literary movement naturalism, was introduced to American writers. The genesis of this movement was conducted in countries from

I. Introduction This paper will show that scientific naturalism has inherent weaknesses caused by the naturalistic attempt to extract life answers via biology. Scientific naturalism is the view that knowledge obtained via the scientific method is reliable and that science can explain everything.

Aquinas's Response to Naturalism Introduction In this paper, I will do three things: (1) summarize an overview of what 'naturalism' is by detailing its history and illustrating it with the views of characteristic thinkers, (2) explain what is known as Aquinas's Thomist Law and finally (3) discuss whether or not Thomist Law commits the 'naturalistic fallacy.' 1 What Is Naturalism?

While the two were very similar in their beliefs and ideals there were still many apparent distinctions to differentiate the two. Realism and naturalism showed themselves in many aspects of life, from art and sciences to new math techniques and even religion. However, above all else these movements may have been most evident in the literature of this time. Reading through American literature
