Sidney Hook’s convictions were widely disseminated through books, academic journals, newspapers articles, lectures, and several organizations that he founded. Hook’s legacies include being a leading Marxist-Leninist scholar, his long-standing commitment to secular humanism, his legacy as a legendary polemicist, his cultural conservatism if not neoconservatism, and his defense of democracy and John Dewey’s pragmatic and Cold War liberalism. Bullert concludes that Hook’s core philosophy is best typified by his Deweyan pragmatism, vigilant anti-communism, and secular humanism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1: The Mature Sidney Hook\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 2: Hook, Dewey, and the Committee for Cultural Freedom\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3: Pragmatic Liberalism and the Crisis of World War II.: Does It Work?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 4: Sidney Hook’s Cold War Liberalism\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 5: Vietnam: The United States as the “Evil” Empire\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 6: From N.Y.U. to “Retirement” at Stanford\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 7: Pluralism and the Pragmatic Liberal Tradition\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 8: Sidney Hook and Neoconservatism\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042655142231,"sku":"9781793627483","price":72.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781793627483.jpg?v=1750955040","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-disputed-legacy-of-sidney-hook-9781793627483","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
