Richard J. Bernstein is a leading exponent of American pragmatism and one of the foremost philosophers of the twentieth century.

Topics under discussion include multiculturalism, political public life, evil and religion. Individual philosophers studied are Kant, Arendt, Rorty, Habermas, Dewey and Trotsky. Each of the sixteen essays, many of which are published here for the first time, offers a way of bridging contemporary philosophical differences.
