Pluralism in theory and practice

de Eugene Garver

"This collection not only brings McKeon to the attention of contemporary philosophers and students; it also puts his theories into practice. Some of the essays explicate aspects of McKeon's thought or situate him in the context of American intellectual and practical engagement. Others take the concerns he raised as starting points for inquiries into urgent contemporary problems, or, in some cases, for re-examining McKeon's work as fertile ground for shaping the direction of new investigation.". "Richard McKeon and American Philosophy addresses the pluralism of modes of philosophizing that held McKeon's attention and that characterize philosophical studies today."--BOOK JACKET.
