Fairfield, Paul
Theorizing Praxis

Studies in Hermeneutical Pragmatism.

This volume investigates the theory/practice relation in philosophy, particularly within the fields of hermeneutics, ethics, and the philosophy of education. In so doing, it uncovers important areas of common ground between hermeneutical and pragmatist philosophy. Paul Fairfield defends a «practice-immanent» method of theorizing, which is indebted to both traditions and aims to explicitly articulate the spontaneously emergent constitutional dynamics of social practices rather than continue the project of transcendental theory construction. 184 Seiten, gebunden (New Perspectives in Philosophical Scholarship; Vol. 15/Peter Lang Verlag 2000) Mängelexemplar/near mint
