Description
Book SynopsisPragmatism's Advantage is a highly original reading of the contemporary interplay between pragmatism and continental European philosophy based on an unexpectedly inventive union of Hegelian and Darwinian themes.
Trade Review"
Pragmatism's Advantage is original and stimulating, polemical without being aggressive. The scholarship that went into this work is altogether excellent, indeed, sovereign. Margolis has a precise and nuanced knowledge of the subject matter and is familiar with materials from many different philosophical traditions. The argument is clear, technical yet accessible, and permeated by a keen and humane wit." —Robert Innis, University of Massachusetts
"A leading voice for 40 years, Margolis explains how pragmatism works as well as anyone, and he expertly exposes core philosophical issues at the intersections of pragmatism, analytic philosophy, and Continental philosophy." -- J.R. Shook * University of Buffalo *
"As the culmination of his work of the past 25 years, this is Joseph Margolis's most ambitious, most sweeping, most important, and best work. It is also the most cogent effort since Richard Rorty's
Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature to establish /rapprochement/ among the analytic, continental, and pragmatist traditions in Western philosophy." -- Kenneth Stikkers * Southern Illinois University *
