Description

"How should one live and how should the practice of philosophy relate to the project of one's life?" By way of suggesting answers to this question, this study offers an analysis of the essential dimensions of the philosophical life as practiced in this century. The author explores specific philosophical problems as treated by major 20th-century pragmatists - Dewey, Goodman, Rorty, and Putnam - as well as by other theorists - Cavell, Haberman, Croce, and Danto - who can be assimilated into the pragmatist tradition. Shusterman concludes with a personal example of critical philosophical living by applying philosophy to the analysis and direction of a central issue in his own life.
