Pragmatist philosophy of mortality 7.Conclusion: a pragmatic transcendental anthropologyReviewsPragmatic naturalism has received considerable attention in recent years, and Sami Pihlstrom's most recent work is a strong addition to that literature: 1) it deepens his own ongoing transcendental approach to pragmatism and pragmatic naturalism in intriguing and forceful ways; 2) it engages extensively with relevant analytic literature, as well as sources in other traditions, thus expanding the reach of pragmatist considerations, and 3) it offers a range of conceptual and existential insights into fundamental questions of death, dying, and mortality. This is a work that well rewards careful reading. -- John Ryder, American University of Malta Author InformationSami Pihlström is professor of philosophy of religion at the Faculty of Theology, University of Helsinki.
