In \u003ci\u003eFrontiers in American Philosophy\u003c\/i\u003e thirty-five contemporary scholars explore classical American thought in bold new ways. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e An extraordinary range of issues and thinkers is represented in these pages--from such core themes as metaphysics and social philosophy, which receive primary attention, to some consideration of American philosophers' technical accomplishments in mathematical logic and philosophical analysis. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The authors also offer new perspectives on the work of the leading American philosophers, including George Herbert Mead, William James, John Dewey, Charles Sanders Peirce, and Emma Goldman. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Not surprisingly perhaps, a great deal of the discussion revolves, either directly or indirectly, around that great axis of intellectual issues commonly known as the \"realism\/idealism\" controversy. It seems fitting that so much attention is devoted to the possibility of some sort of middle position between \"external realism\" and its antipode in some form of relativistic subjectivism. For, in the last analysis, such a middle position is for the American philosophers the core meaning of \"pragmatism.\"","brand":"Texas A\u0026M University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47615019876503,"sku":"9781585440016","price":2233.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781585440016.webp?v=1775097860","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/frontiers-in-american-philosophy-9781585440016","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
