This book shows the breadth and scope of his work while expanding key insights into new contexts and testing his work against thinkers outside the canon of his own scholarship.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHonoring Dick Bernstein (b. 1932), long-time professor of philosophy at New School for Social Research, this collection is an excellent reminder to those who have benefited over many years from Bernstein’s scholarship and publications, e.g., Beyond Objectivism and Relativism (CH, May'84), Praxis and Action (CH, Jul'72), and critical appraisals of such figures as C. S. Peirce, William James, John Dewey, Hannah Arendt, Hans Gadamer, and Jürgen Habermas. In its own way each of the 11 essays explores what Bernstein called \"engaged fallibilistic pragmatism.\" The essays are presented under two headings: \"Judgment and Critique\" and \"Hermeneutics and History.\" The breadth of Bernstein’s philosophical grasp is well demonstrated. But more significantly described is his character as a teacher promoting courage to hold firm to particular commitments and encounter the truth through new questions and texts. As Lauren Barthold puts it in her essay (“Acts of Betrayal: Gadamer and Hermeneutics”), “To perpetuate a tradition and keep it alive requires one to be open to applying it anew and living it out in different ways.” This volume properly celebrates Bernstein and his expansion of American philosophy. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty. * CHOICE *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForeword by George Yancy  Editors’ Introduction  Prologue by Edward S.
