Abstract
The phrase “naturalistic fallacy” is used in two distinct senses which are not always distinguished clearly enough. This tends to lead to unfortunate confusions (see, e.g., Hauser 2006: 5). Hence, one of my aims in this essay is to clarify the distinction between these uses in the hope that further confusions could be avoided.
