Description

Product Description Daniele Botti argues that John Rawlss philosophy is importantly connected with classical American pragmatism and that Rawlss intellectual trajectory did not take a pragmatic turn in the 1980s but possibly an un-pragmatic one. Both claims go against conventional wisdom, and Botti corroborates them with archival research. Review Daniele Botti effectively upends the conventional view that Rawls's introduction of political liberalism marked a "pragmatic turn." Drawing on archival materials and on impressive philosophical learning, Botti locates deep pragmatist strains in Rawls's thought from the late 1940's onwards, predating Quine's publications and compromised, if anything, by political liberalism's step back from universalism. The result is a highly illuminating account not only of Rawls's work as a whole but also of the great tradition of American pragmatism more generally.--Henry S. Richardson, Professor of Philosophy, Georgetown University About the Author Daniele Botti is adjunct professor in the Department of Philosophy and Political Science at Quinnipiac University and in the Department of Philosophy at Fairfield University.
