The Chicago Pragmatists and American Progressivism
Author: Andrew Feffer
Publisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 150172147X
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
Founded in 1894 at a peak of social and industrial turmoil, the Chicago school of pragmatist philosophy is emblematic of the progressive spirit of early twentieth-century America. The Chicago pragmatists under the leadership of John Dewey pursued a close critique of the modern workplace, school, and neighborhood which provided a theoretical base for the progressive reform agenda. Andrew Feffer here provides a richly textured group portrait of Dewey and his colleagues George Herbert Mead and James Hayden Tufts against the backdrop of Chicago's social history. In this nuanced intellectual biography of the Chicago pragmatists, Feffer retraces the story of their personal involvement in reform movements and examines how they revised contemporary political rhetoric and social theory in order to reestablish the foundations of democracy in productive and rewarding work. Drawing on liberal Christian reformist as well as philosophical idealist traditions, the pragmatists advanced a radically humanistic social theory that attacked the regimentation of factory life and demanded the democratization of industry and education. Feffer also gives an account of certain elitist and anti-democratic assumptions of pragmatist theory; he shows, in particular, how progressive reformers inherited the pragmatists' mistrust of the political impulses of the industrial workers they championed.

Private Clubs in America and Around the World
Author: Clive Endive Ogive (IV.)
Publisher: Dog Ear Publishing
ISBN: 1608440133
Category : Clubs
Languages : en
Pages : 214
Book Description
Private Clubs in America and around the World is a VERY funny and perceptive look into the unique world of private clubs. Private clubs are inextricably woven into the very fabric of America's history, traditions, and culture- and for that matter, the histories, traditions, and cultures of ALL free societies around the world. Members, employees, and guests alike will enjoy the author's penetrating insights, off-beat humor, blatant irreverence, and sarcastic wit. The author's obvious extensive knowledge of and deep affection for the world of private clubs permeate all nine chapters and deal with topics ranging from Boards of Directors to committees, employees to members. Be prepared to laugh your socks off at this must-read. Clive Endive Ogive IV belongs to at least 17 exclusive private clubs-certainly all the ones that matter. The fact that he has a Roman numeral IV after his name and is exclusive heir to a trust fund with annual interest sufficient to pay all his annual club dues in perpetuity-and also somehow manages to write all this money off on his taxes as "legitimate business deductions"-is more than enough to qualify him to author this groundbreaking and aweinspiring book. For more information-and to order additional copies for your fellow club members, club employees, friends, and enemies-please visit www.CliveEndiveOgiveIV.com. You may also to send your thoughts directly to Clive at [email protected].
