What is naturalism? For episode six, I take up this broad topic in conversation with John Shook, a research associate in philosophy and instructor in science education for the University at Buffalo. Dr. Shook holds a Ph.D in philosophy from the University at Buffalo, served as professor of philosophy at Oklahoma State University from 2000-2006, has worked for several secular and humanist organizations - including the Center for Inquiry and the American Humanist Association - and he is the author and editor of numerous books, including The God Debates and The Future of Naturalism.
