3509	Externalism may be the key idea in philosophical naturalism [Papineau]
	Full Idea: Some people view an externalist approach to epistemology as the essence of philosophical naturalism.
	From: David Papineau (Philosophical Naturalism [1993], Intro)
	A reaction: I suspect philosophers avoid psychology and mental events, simply because they are elusive. Externalism is a theory about justification, and independent of naturalism as a metaphysic.
