O Lugar Atual e Propósito da Filosofia Americana
Year: 2014
Type: article
Abstract: : American Philosophy has experienced a re-vitalization in the last 25 years. It has become so popular that it is sometimes appropriated by people who are not really familiar with the tradition at all. On the other hand, it is being utilized by many in new and exciting ways. This paper points to some of the ways American philosophy has been a publicly engaged tradition and argues that it should remain so if we care about the future of democracy. It then suggests that some of the possibly emerging themes that the tradition needs to wrestle with in the 21st century are conceptions of boundary and place, pluralism and agency, and fallibilism and hope.
