Reviews
This book eloquently argues and illustrates why pragmatism remains one of the most interesting and still promising philosophical traditions on the intellectual scene. Redolent of Rorty's ebullient and generous readings, Skof shows how at the heart of pragmatism is a corporeal ethics of co-responsibility, a watchful attentiveness to the generative civic praxis of communities, and a solicitous hermeneutics that calls for an intercultural philosophy. Rorty's proclamation of a post-philosophical culture is here translated in terms of an intercultural philosophy. This book also has the added virtue of excavating for us a fascinating genealogy that should make us more humble and reticent to bunt around anachronistic terms such as analytic and continental. -- Mendieta, Eduardo
