The Things in Heaven and Earth: An Essay in Pragmatic Naturalism

English

By (author): John Ryder

The Things in Heaven and Earth develops and applies the American philosophical naturalist tradition of the mid20th century, specifically the work of three of the most prominent figures of what is called Columbia Naturalism: John Dewey, John Herman Randall Jr., and Justus Buchler. The book argues for the philosophical value and usefulness of this underappreciated tradition for a number of contemporary theoretical and practical issues, such as the modernist/postmodernist divide and debates over philosophical constructivism.
Pragmatic naturalism offers a distinctive ontology of constitutive relations. Relying on Buchlers ordinal ontology and on the relationality implicit in Deweys instrumentalism, the book gives a detailed account of this approach in chapters that deal with issues in systematic ontology, epistemology, constructivism and objectivity, philosophical theology, art, democratic theory, foreign policy, education, humanism, and cosmopolitanism.
