Book Description
Excerpt from Present Philosophical Tendencies a Critical Survey of Naturalism, Idealism Pragmatism and Realism, Together With a Synopsis of the Philosophy of William James, 1921 To avoid any misunderstanding as to the scope of the present book, let me say at the outset that with the cxcep tion of the Appendix, it is a critique, rather than a history. I have attempted not merely to summarize, but to esti mate, present philosophical tendencies; and my criticism is throughout based on the realistic philosophy which I set forth constructively only at the end. Since my method has been critical rather than exposi tory I shall doubtless be charged with having committed the error personae, with having attributed to certain writers views which they would not recognize as their own. Be this as it may, I have in any case formulated the views which I have criticised, so that the merits of the question may always be in the foreground of study. I have assumed it to be more important to discover whether certain current views were true or false than to discuss with painstaking nicety the question Of their attribution.

I have assumed it to be more important to discover whether certain current views were true or false than to discuss with painstaking nicety the question of their attribution. Furthermore, I realize that I have given to the several tendencies which I have discussed the relative emphasis which is characteristic of Anglo-American thought. This appears in the importance which I have attached to the blend of "critical" or Kantian, with metaphysical or Hegelian motives in idealism; in my identification of realism with the "new" or non-dualistic realism; and in the prominence which I have given both to realism and to pragmatism.

The Varieties of Experience
Author: Alexis Dianda
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 0674244273
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 283
Book Description
Reconstructing the philosophical project of William James, Alexis Dianda deploys a concept of experience that avoids both foundationalist epistemology and an account of the subject rooted in immediately given objects of consciousness. In doing so, Dianda rethinks the role of experience as well as the aims and resources of pragmatic philosophy.

The Making of American Liberal Theology
Author: Gary J. Dorrien
Publisher: Westminster John Knox Press
ISBN: 9780664223557
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 710
Book Description
In this first of three volumes, Dorrien identifies the indigenous roots of American liberal theology and demonstrates a wider, longer-running tradition than has been thought. The tradition took shape in the nineteenth century, motivated by a desire to map a modernist "third way" between orthodoxy and rationalistic deism/atheism. It is defined by its openness to modern intellectual inquiry; its commitment to the authority of individual reason and experience; its conception of Christianity as an ethical way of life; and its commitment to make Christianity credible and socially relevant to modern people. Dorrien takes a narrative approach and provides a biographical reading of important religious thinkers of the time, including William E. Channing, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Horace Bushnell, Henry Ward Beecher, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Charles Briggs. Dorrien notes that, although liberal theology moved into elite academic institutions, its conceptual foundations were laid in the pulpit rather than the classroom.
