Toward a Metaphysics of Culture

Beschreibung

Toward a Metaphysics of Culture offers a heterodox account of the human person and its enlanguaged culture as a natural but artifactual transform of the human primate and the physical world, in terms of its invention and mastery of language and of the emergent abilities that that makes possible.

Rezensionen

"Stimulating, provocative, and magisterial, Margolis' intrepid study sketches how 21st century philosophers can develop what he terms pragmatism's best prospects. By depicting human beings not as a natural kind but as a 'second-natured, artifactual transform' Margolis presses not only pragmatism but philosophy itself toward a more productive arena, one where biology and enlanguaged culture intersect." - David L. Hildebrand, University of Colorado Denver
