"Scientific Ontology: Integrating Naturalized Metaphysics and Voluntarist Epistemology", by Anjan Chakravartty, was published in 2017. It offers: “a proposal for understanding the idea of naturalized metaphysics, an account of the role of underlying epistemic stances in producing different ontologies, and an argument against the idea that historical case studies can settle debates about ontology”.
In 2019 Anjan Chakravartty (University of Miami) and Stathis Psillos (University of Athens) discussed the book during a Rotman Dialogue. This 4-part video series includes highlights of their commentary and discussion with others in attendance.
