The Metaphysics Of Pragmatism

By Sidney Hook

Book Overview

The Metaphysics of Pragmatism is a philosophical book written by Sidney Hook, an American philosopher and educator. The book explores the philosophical concept of pragmatism, which is a theory that focuses on the practical consequences of beliefs, rather than their abstract or theoretical truth. Hook argues that pragmatism is not only a theory of knowledge, but also a theory of reality. He explains that pragmatism holds that reality is not fixed or immutable, but rather it is a dynamic and evolving process that is shaped by human actions and interactions. The book delves into various aspects of pragmatism, including its historical development, its relationship to other philosophical theories, and its implications for ethics, politics, and social issues. Hook also examines the criticisms of pragmatism and offers responses to them.Overall, The Metaphysics of Pragmatism is a comprehensive and thought-provoking exploration of a major philosophical theory, written by one of the leading thinkers in the field. It is a must-read for anyone interested in philosophy, epistemology, or the nature of reality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
