Aprašymas

<p>In this remarkable book, Joseph Margolis, one of <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 /><st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">America</st1:country-region></st1:place>'s leading and most celebrated philosophers, examines the relationship between two apparently contradictory philosophical tendencies - realism and relativism. In order to examine the relationship between the two, Margolis establishes a taxomony of different kinds of realism and different kinds of relativism. Drawing on both the analytic and Continental traditions, he examines (from a pragmatic point of view) the various relationships between these two tendencies in the light of two major developments in modern philosophy - the concern for praxis and the concern for historicity.</p><br/><p>Twenty years after it was first published to great acclaim, Margolis has updated <i>Pragmatism Without Foundations</i> in the light of his most recent work and the development of pragmatism in the intellectual world. This second edition includes an updated preface and a brand new epilogue addressing these developments and their implications for his earlier work.</p>>
