The Ideal and the Real Philosophy
by [Stango, Marco]

Description
The current volume provides an interpretation of American pragmatism according to which pragmatism is not opposed to metaphysics but instead represents a vital, non-dismissive, non-deflationary attempt to respond to classical questions of philosophy concerning the nature of reality, truth, goodness, beauty, ideality, etc. American pragmatism has been often interpreted as a form of crass utilitarianism applied to all areas of philosophy - a precipitation of the "industrialist" spirit of the United States. This book demonstrates how such an interpretation is misguided. The chapters focus on different topics in the philosophies of Peirce and Dewey - what is "meaning," what is the human self, what is truth, what is consciousness, what "semiotics" can add to realism - that articulate the unitary view that the "real" is always inhabited by and open to the "ideal."
