His father died in 1880 when Stephen Crane was only nine years old. The loss of his father at such a young age may be one of the reasons why this author had the drive to write works of literary naturalism. Moreover, losing his father may made him see that nature does not care if one is only nine years old; if it is going to take away one’s father from one’s side, it is simply going to do so. The author realized that nature is uncaring. After the…

However, Crane also appeals to naturalism in the scene because the lieutenant possesses no control of preventing the wound from happening.

Unfortunately, the man was stopped short when the weather took a turn for the worst and got so freezing he could not even start a fire and eventually froze to death.

existence ‘in a manner suitable to divine purposes” (p.40) Moser examines what he calls ‘notheistic naturalism’ as a way of explaining the idea of a purposive agent which Hewirth argues that all “Prospective Purpose Agents” must lay a claim right to the generic preconditions of purposeful action’ . Moser writes to prove this would ‘yield a difficult task for the natural sciences’ (p.49). Ontological naturalism is the view that our best understanding of what there is , is what science reveals…
