• W.V.O. Quine argues that critics are incorrect to suggest that naturalized epistemology abandons the normative element, stating: "Insofar as theoretical epistemology gets naturalized into a chapter of theoretical science, so normative epistemology gets naturalized into a chapter of engineering: the technology of anticipating sensory stimulation."
• W.V.O. Quine's 1969 essay 'Epistemology Naturalized' is the source of much of the recent interest in naturalized epistemology.
• W.V. Quine's argument for naturalistic epistemology relies on confirmation holism, which is the view that only substantial bodies of theory, rather than individual claims, are empirically testable.
• W.V.O. Quine asserts that within his framework of naturalized epistemology, the normative is not dropped but rather naturalized.
• The bibliography for the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy entry on Naturalized Epistemology includes works by Robert Almeder (1998), Laurence BonJour (1994), Roderick Chisholm (1966, 1982, 1989), Richard Feldman (1999), Richard Foley (1994), Richard Fumerton (1994, 1995), Allan Gibbard (1990), Alvin Goldman (1979, 1992), Susan Haack (1993), Gilbert Harman (1977), Jaegwon Kim (1988), Philip Kitcher (1992), Hilary Kornblith (1988, 1994, 1999), Keith Lehrer (1997), William Lycan (1988), James Maffie (1990), John Pollock (1986), and W.V.O. Quine.
• W.V. Quine initiated the contemporary wave of naturalistic epistemology with his essay 'Epistemology Naturalized'.
• W.V.O. Quine posits that naturalized epistemology should focus on understanding the link between observation and science, even if that understanding utilizes the science being investigated.
• W. V. O. Quine first proposed naturalized epistemology in his 1969 article, 'Epistemology Naturalized'.
• W.V.O. Quine's naturalized epistemology proposed that knowledge should be studied as a branch of science rather than exclusively as a branch of philosophy.
• W. V. O. Quine's version of naturalized epistemology considers reasons for doubt about the fruitfulness of traditional philosophic study of scientific knowledge, citing the failure of philosophers to find satisfactory answers to radical skepticism and David Hume's criticism of induction.
• The term 'naturalized epistemology' was coined in the 20th century by W. V. O. Quine.
• W.V.O. Quine identifies a problem of circularity in naturalized epistemology when it is used as a replacement for traditional epistemology, specifically because it attempts to validate natural sciences using those same sciences.
• W.V.O. Quine argues that naturalistic epistemology and the rest of science are mutually constraining because they contain one another, with science forming part of epistemology's subject matter.
• W.V.O. Quine's naturalistic epistemology posits that epistemology is contained within psychology as a subdiscipline.
• Jaegwon Kim contends that W.V.O. Quine's naturalized epistemology cannot establish truth because it relies on purely descriptive statements about sensory input–output relationships rather than normative criteria.
