| The development of scientific philosophy is currently being placed as a big concern within its academics in 21st century. Scientific philosophy started to change and evolve from logics to naturalism and natural recognition after almost 30 year-long silence.With the argument between scientific realism and anti-realism ended as resultless and disciplines like computer science, psychology being prevailing again and a quick development of recognition science, scientific philosophy become more and more associated with other disciplines, such as scientific sociology, scientific knowledge scociology, scientific psychology and recognition science etc. logics provelism can't fit in current society due to the absence of a dimension in metaphysics and therefore limiting its research. Based on those reasons listed above, scientific philosophy turns to naturalism and natural recognitionlism. Quine is the first scientific philosopher who proposed naturalism. He refuted the fundamentalism and brought scientific philosophy to the naturalism by criticizing the two dogmas of logics, analytical topic assigning and composite topic assigning. Different schools of naturalism appeared under Quine's influence. Scientific naturalism insists that recognition is a matter of science. Culturalism focuses on the society side of recognition. Standard naturalism associates recognition with values. Scientific philosophy develops itself through two pathway, naturalism and recognition naturalism.In this thesis, I analyzed the process of fundamentalism's failure and naturalism's renascence. Two pathways of scientific naturalism and its representatives are discussed here. And I will analyze what impact the naturalism has brought to us.
