Practicing Philosophy : Pragmatism and the Philosophical Life
Other Available Formats
Overview
How should the practice of philosophy relate to the project of one's life? Practicing Philosophy examines the idea of the philosophical life as expressed in our century, analyzing its essential dimensions and exploring crucial philosophical issues that arise in them: issues that range from epistemology, ethics, and politics to aesthetics, somatics, and ethnicity. In developing his own conception of the philosophical life, Shusterman critically engages the views of Dewey, Wittgenstein, and Foucalult as well as the current pragmatism of Roty, Putnam, Goodman, Habermas, and Cavell. Practicing Philosophy thus makes its case for philosophical living while providing a useful survey of the rich variety of contemporary pragmatism.
