Product Description
INTRODUCTION - Miss Yonges books have exercised a wide and wholesome influence on those of her own generation, and it has been said that few writers have done so much to mould the mind of the English girl, divine, demure. She was essentially earnest, and maintained in all her works a high standard of gentleness and grace. In The Little Duke we have an excellent example of the many stories Miss Yonge wove about the direrent manners of life among different peoples. Besides being a pleasant tale, designed partly to show the influence the Christian religion exercised as a civilizing force, it depicts in picturesque and faithful colours a Europe which has long ago passed away-a Europe in which only two figures were of grand importance the figure of the true knight, and the figure of the servant of Christ.Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are now republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork. ... Read more

Comprehensive, yet complex overview
The revival of pragmatism, which can largely be traced to Richard Rorty's work provides an important framework for a variety of problems ranging from philosophical, through legal, cultural and literary.For someone who wants a good overview of the debates around pragmatism, this volume provides a good introduction.

The variety of essays provides a good selection of the span of modern pragmatist thought.It includes excellent articles by both Rorty and Putnam, who have very different philosophical takes on pragmatism.A few excellent survey articles on the history of pragmatism and articles that engage specific applications of pragmatist thought.As might be expected, the summary article by Stanley Fish is sure to infuriate some readers.

This is a book for someone who has a background understanding of pragmatism, but wants to learn more the uses to which it is being put.

important
This is an excellent and important book of well-written positions from a variety of perspectives.A fan of pragmatism may be turned off by the 2nd through the 6th essays, but of the following 25 at least 23 or 24 are wellworth reading.The section on law debates the question of whetherphilosophy influences or "supports" law.I came away, as I'dbeen before, convinced that moving to pragmatism in philosophy is likely tohave a good effect on legal opinions and that Rorty is absurdly unfair tothe value of his own work by stressing that law can get on withouttraditional philosophy.Of course it can, but what needs to be said isthat we would be better off if it did.The concluding essay by StanleyFish is wonderful and makes a point I've been trying to find someone toagree with for years, namely that religious tolerance is a contradiction interms; tolerance is a restriction on religion. ...
