Description: Despite there being deep lines of convergence between, the philosophies of Alfred North Whitehead and other classical American philosophers, it remains an open question whether Whitehead is a pragmatist, and conversations between pragmatists and Whitehead scholars have been limited. Thinking with Whitehead and the American Pragmatists: Experience and Reality questions the wisdom of that separation, exploring their connections, both historical and in application, through original and creative work by leading and emerging scholars.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.
