He then argues that pragmatist humanism is a form of anti-authoritarianism. Finally, he shows the possibility of bringing together the resurgence of humanism and a renewed interest in the work of aesthetic form by arguing that pragmatist aesthetics needs a more complex conception of form. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEstablishing a transatlantic theoretical dialogue, \u003ci\u003eHumanism, Anti-Authoritarianism, and Literary Aesthetics\u003c\/i\u003e brings together literary and aesthetic theory, philosophy, and intellectual history.
