First sentence: In his review of The Life and Thought of Josiah Royce, Robert Burch states that its author, John Clendenning, succeeds in emphasizing Royce's relation to Charles Sanders Peirce.
Description: "Josiah Royce emphasized that communities of all sizes - ranging from families to towns - needed "reverence for the relations of life" not only to thrive but to survive. This theme permeates the dialectic of Royce's interactions with Peirce, James, and Dewey. Oppenheim analyzes the agreement and disagreement of these thinkers on the method and content of philosophy, skepticism and intelligibility, and nominalism and intentionality, as he uncovers their varied stances toward transcendent Reality." "Frank M. Oppenheim, who is widely regarded as an expert on Josiah Royce, brings more than 40 years of study to bear on this magnum opus. Reverence for the Relations of Life will be essential reading for those interested in American philosophy and theology."--Jacket.
