Description

It is commonly believed that populist politics and social media pose a serious threat to our concept of truth. Philosophical pragmatists, who are typically thought to regard truth as merely that which is 'helpful' for us to believe, are sometimes blamed for providing the theoretical basis for the phenomenon of 'post-truth'. In this book, Sami Pihlström develops a pragmatist account of truth and truth-seeking based on the ideas of William James, and defends a thoroughly pragmatist view of humanism which gives space for a sincere search for truth. By elaborating on James's pragmatism and the 'will to believe' strategy in the philosophy of religion, Pihlström argues for a Kantian-inspired transcendental articulation of pragmatism that recognizes irreducible normativity as a constitutive feature of our practices of pursuing the truth. James himself thereby emerges as a deeply Kantian thinker. Book Description Engages in a self-critical examination of the pragmatist conception of truth integrating ethics, epistemology, and philosophy of religion. About the Author Sami Pihlström is Professor of Philosophy of Religion at the University of Helsinki. He is the author of Pragmatic Realism, Religious Truth, and Antitheodicy (2020) and Why Solipsism Matters (2020).
