Reviews

Thinking with Whitehead and the American Pragmatists counters the growing silence between Whiteheadian process philosophy and pragmatism, seeking to liberate both from self-imposed narrowness. The essays by fourteen scholars take on a range of probing topics and in so doing also expose the richness of ideas yet to be explored. Each essay opens up a conversation worth having. I hope this volume helps revive the speculative pulse in American philosophy. -- Thomas M. Alexander, Southern Illinois University at Carbondale
