Beware that some words might mean different things to different communities. For example, if a philosopher calls himself/herself an "anti-reductive naturalist," there's a good chance they are a strict reductionist in the LW sense. It may help to read the "thoughts on specific questions" section of this page of the PhilPapers Survey site.

Excellent point. I'll add a glossary to the article sometime within the next 24 hours in order to diminish some of the confusion.

I've tried to do that already, adding comments below each question that I think might be confusing.

Thanks for that.
