Essays on the Pragmatism of Isaac Levi
Erik J. Olsson, Lunds Universitet, Sweden
June 2011
Available
Paperback
9780521314473
    Description

    Isaac Levi, currently John Dewey Professor of Philosophy at Columbia University, has explored the principles of American pragmatism in greater depth and more consistency than others before him. The result is a sophisticated and powerful philosophical system whose key elements stand in stark opposition not only to current mainstream epistemology, but also to the positions of other contemporary authors writing in the same pragmatist tradition. The essays in this timely volume, written by some of philosophy's finest scholars, contribute substantially to the understanding and appraisal of Levi's work.

    • Was the first book devoted entirely to Isaac Levi's pragmatist philosophy
    • Among the contributors are some of philosophy's finest scholars
    • Contains Levi's extensive replies to his critics, giving unique access to his views on a wide range of topics

    Ethics & International Affairs

    : Journal

    The aim of Ethics & International Affairs, the journal of the Carnegie Council, is to help close the gap between theory and practice (and between theorists and practitioners) by publishing original essays that integrate rigorous thinking about principles of justice and morality into discussions of practical dilemmas related to current policy developments, global institutional arrangements, and the conduct of important international actors. Theoretical discussions that originate in philosophy, religion, or the social sciences should connect with the interests of journalists, activists, policy-makers, and citizens who are primarily concerned with assessing and reforming specific policies, as well as existing rules and institutions such as the United Nations, the World Bank, and the International Monetary Fund; arrangements governing trade, environmental protection, and the use of force; and the International Criminal Court and ad hoc tribunals that address genocide and past societal injustices.
