They invite us to entertain a set of imagined conversations among the mighty dead that no doubt would have intrigued Dewey and each of the interlocutors gathered here.\"--Robert Westbrook, author of \u003ci\u003eJohn Dewey and American Democracy and\/or Democratic Hope: Pragmatism and the Politics of Truth.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eJohn Dewey and Continental Philosophy\u003c\/i\u003e provides a rich sampling of exchanges that could have taken place long ago between the traditions of American pragmatism and continental philosophy had the lines of communication been more open between Dewey and his European contemporaries. Since they were not, Paul Fairfield and thirteen of his colleagues seek to remedy the situation by bringing the philosophy of Dewey into conversation with several currents in continental philosophical thought, from post-Kantian idealism and the work of Friedrich Nietzsche to twentieth-century phenomenology, hermeneutics, and poststructuralism. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eJohn Dewey and Continental Philosophy\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates some of the many connections and opportunities for cross-traditional thinking that have long existed between Dewey and continental thought, but have been under-explored. The intersection presented here between Dewey's pragmatism and the European traditions makes a significant contribution to continental and American philosophy and will spur new and important developments in the American philosophical debate. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Fairfield\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 080933304X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780809333042\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Southern Illinois University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/14\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Paul Fairfield","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46372317659391,"sku":"9780809333042","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9b29b2a6-37d4-4e02-a392-045bf9445308.jpg?v=1732725616","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/john-dewey-and-continental-philosophy-paul-fairfield-9780809333042","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
