Anti-Pragmatism: An Examination Into The Respective Rights Of Intellectual Aristocracy And Social Democracy (1909) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781436966405)

""Anti-Pragmatism: An Examination Into The Respective Rights Of Intellectual Aristocracy And Social Democracy"" is a book written by Albert Schinz in 1909. The book explores the conflict between the intellectual aristocracy and social democracy, and challenges the idea of pragmatism as a solution to this conflict. Schinz argues that intellectual aristocracy has the right to govern society, based on their superior knowledge and expertise, and that social democracy is a threat to this intellectual authority. He critiques the pragmatist belief that solutions to social problems should be based on practicality and effectiveness, rather than on intellectual merit. Schinz's work is a critique of the progressive movement of the early 20th century, which sought to promote social reform through practical solutions and democratic participation. The book is a significant contribution to the philosophical debates of the time, and remains relevant today in discussions of the role of expertise and intellectual authority in modern society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
