Description
Book SynopsisA revolutionary pragmatist account of creativity and synthetic reasoning that relies upon gesture, an action that carries on meaning.
Trade Review" The Philosophy of Gesture is a major book, certainly one of the most important in the field for the last twenty years, one that will definitely add to the pragmatist corpus as a genuine primary reference." Mathias Girel, E cole Normale SupE rieure, Paris " Rarely these days are philosophy books both bold and sweeping, but Maddalena' s The Philosophy of Gesture is both. The conclusion of the book is less the close of a philosophical investigation and more a request for others to take up the project of " completing pragmatists' incomplete revolution." Maddalena' s book is brimming with ideas and opening up new horizons of research." Transactions of the Charles S. Peirce Society " With The Philosophy of Gesture Maddalena depicts an innovative epistemic tool for our everyday reasoning, opening a whole new horizon of research in various fields, from theoretical philosophy to ethics, from psychology to the social sciences."
