Ulf Schulenberg

Pragmatism and Poetic Agency

The Persistence of Humanism

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Schulenberg continues the thought-provoking argument he developed in his previous two monographs by advancing the idea that one can only grasp the unique contemporary significance of pragmatism when one realizes how pragmatism, humanism, anti-authoritarianism, and postmetaphysics are interlinked.
