Description

"William James is known today strictly as a philosopher of pragmatism. William James: Politics in the Pluriverse challenges this understanding. Kennan Ferguson argues that James should instead be known as the progenitor of pluralism, one of the most influential and durable American political philosophies of the twentieth century." "In this work Ferguson examines the trajectory of pluralism in the United States and England, the mutual influences of turn-of-the-century American and European philosophical traditions, and the relationship between pluralism and James's active anti-imperialism. James's unexpected political concepts and commitments both illuminate political philosophy of the twentieth century and challenge contemporary assumptions about the desirability of unanimity."--BOOK JACKET.
