Reviews

Stimulating, provocative, and magisterial, Margolis' intrepid study sketches how 21st century philosophers can develop what he terms pragmatism's best prospects. By depicting human beings not as a natural kind but as a 'second-natured, artifactual transform' Margolis presses not only pragmatism but philosophy itself toward a more productive arena, one where biology and enlanguaged culture intersect. - David L. Hildebrand, University of Colorado Denver
