Embodying Pragmatism - Wojciech Malecki Gebunden

Embodying Pragmatism is the first monograph in English devoted to Richard Shusterman an internationally renowned philosopher and one of today's most innovative thinkers in pragmatism and aesthetics. The book presents a comprehensive account of Shusterman's principal philosophical ideas concerning pragmatism aesthetics and literary theory (including such themes as interpretation aesthetic experience popular art and human embodiment - culminating in his proposal of a new discipline called somaesthetics). As Shusterman's philosophical writings involve a dialogue with both analytic and conti nental traditions this monograph not only offers a critical vision of contemporary pragmatist thought but also situates Shusterman and pragmatism within the current state of theory.
