This paper has two projects.  First, and foremost, the paper outlines a view of naturalized epistemology not currently considered one of the standard interpretations of Quine’s famous "Epistemology Naturalized" nor one of the standard projects in epistemology. Second, the paper places this view of naturalized epistemology into the context of epistemology as well as the recent and overall history of philosophy, and evaluates the view as an interpretation of Quine and as an epistemic project. The first project has greater importance in part because the primary philosophical significance of the theory lies with its utility in epistemology. However, understanding the theory in a broader historical context is important to epistemology which all to often evinces and indifference and ignorance of its historical roots.
