American Pragmatism: A Religious GenealogyOxford University Press, 9 janv. 2003 - 348 pages Hamner seeks to discover what makes pragmatism uniquely American. She argues that the inextricably American character of pragmatism of such figures as C.S. Peirce and William James lies in its often understated affirmation of America as a uniquely religious country with a God-given mission and populated by God-fearing citizens. |
