Of great relevance to contemporary debates about socialism and
democracy, Young Sidney Hook reopens the controversial question of
the relationship between Marxism and pragmatism. In the first
biography of philosopher Sidney Hook to be published since his
death in 1989, Christopher Phelps vividly describes the neglected
early thought and political history of this important New York
intellectual, pragmatist philosopher, and anti-Stalinist
polemicist. Throughout the Cold War decades, Hook was a notoriously
strident anti-communist. But in his earlier life, he had a very
different career as a talented radical philosopher and Marxist
scholar who argued for replacing capitalism with a more democratic
society. Challenging scholars on both the left (who see Hook's
early beliefs as ill-conceived) and the right (who see them as
immature), Phelps explores the contributions young Hook made to
social theory, ethics, politics, epistemology, and discussions of
scientific method.
