Naturalized epistemology is a way of understanding how people come to know things. It focuses on how people learn and understand things through their interactions with nature and the environment, rather than relying on philosophical arguments. In other words, it looks at how the world around us teaches us what we know, rather than how things are just accepted as true by some higher power. To put it in simpler terms, naturalized epistemology is like learning from life's experiences, rather than from books.
