Eclecticism
Eclecticism is a conceptual approach that does not hold rigidly to a single paradigm or set of assumptions, but instead draws upon multiple theories, styles, or ideas to gain complementary insights into a subject, or applies different theories in particular cases. It can sometimes seem inelegant or lacking in simplicity, and eclectics are sometimes criticized for lack of consistency in their thinking. It is, however, common in many fields of study.
Patrick Dunleavy (born 1952) is Professor of Political Science and Public Policy within the Government Department of the London School of Economics (LSE). He is a prominent political theorist specialising in the fields of public policy and government.

Infinite regress
An infinite regress in a series of propositions arises if the truth of proposition P 1 requires the support of proposition P 2 , the truth of proposition P 2 requires the support of proposition P 3 , ... , and the truth of proposition P n-1 requires the support of proposition P n and n approaches infinity. Distinction is made between infinite regresses that are "vicious" and those that are not.

Naturalism commonly refers to the viewpoint that laws of nature (as opposed to supernatural ones) operate in the universe, and that nothing exists beyond the natural universe or, if it does, it does not affect the natural universe. [ 1 ] Adherents of naturalism (naturalists) assert that natural laws are the rules that govern the structure and behavior of the natural universe, that the universe is a product of these laws. [ 2 ] Philosopher Paul Kurtz argues that nature is best accounted for by reference to material principles.
