{"product_id":"americas-philosophical-vision","title":"America's Philosophical Vision","description":"In these previously uncollected essays, Smith argues that \u003cbr\u003eAmerican philosophers like Peirce, James, Royce, and \u003cbr\u003eDewey have forged a unique philosophical tradition—one \u003cbr\u003ethat is rich and complex enough to represent a genuine \u003cbr\u003ealternative to the analytic, phenomenological, and \u003cbr\u003ehermeneutical traditions which have originated in Britain \u003cbr\u003eor Europe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"In my judgment, John Smith has no equal today in \u003cbr\u003ecombining two scholarly qualities: the analysis of \u003cbr\u003ephilosophical texts with penetration and rigor, and the \u003cbr\u003ediscernment of what it is in these texts that matters. \u003cbr\u003eThese qualities are in evidence throughout the essays in \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAmerica's Philosophical Vision.\u003c\/i\u003e Whether he is \u003cbr\u003eevaluating Rorty's view of Dewey; the pragmatic theory of \u003cbr\u003eexperience and truth; theories of freedom, creativity, \u003cbr\u003eand the self; Royce's conception of community; or \u003cbr\u003esynoptic philosophic visions, Smith always succeeds in \u003cbr\u003euniting a comprehensive understanding of philosophic \u003cbr\u003ewritings with a sure grasp of their import for human \u003cbr\u003eculture and aspiration. It is a great benefit to \u003cbr\u003estudents of American thought that these papers have now \u003cbr\u003ebeen collected into one volume.\"—James Gouinlock, Emory \u003cbr\u003eUniversity","brand":"The University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54218502308184,"sku":"9780226763682","price":40.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780226763682.jpg?v=1764908126","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/americas-philosophical-vision","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
