Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"This is indispensable reading for students and scholars of pragmatism as well as those working in Hispanic philosophy. Highly recommended." -Choice "Pragmatism in the Americas examines new and unexplored intersections between American philosophy and Spanish and Latin American thought, advancing a deeper understanding of the Hispanic World's philosophical contribution to and relationship with the evolution of Western thought." -- -Bernardo Cantens Moravian College "This book holds real promise for awakening North American philosophers to the enormous breadth of Spanish-language Pragmatist philosophy. This is one of the best contributions to the advancement of American philosophy in a long time." -- -David O'Hara Augustana College "This collection provides the definitive resource, long overdue, on 'American' philosophy in a full sense. And the essays are full of surprises, detailing both the history of pragmatism's reception in the hispanic world, and the commonalities and differences between the Latin American and north American approaches. They also explain the multiple reasons philosophy itself today more than ever needs this tradition in order to resuscitate its crisis-ridden methodology and its standing in the public domain." -- -Linda Alcoff Hunter College, CUNY
