The Disputed Legacy of Sidney Hook (Hardcover)

The Disputed Legacy of Sidney Hook examines the sixty-year career of one of the foremost public intellectuals in the United States. Sidney Hook's convictions were widely disseminated through books, academic journals, newspapers articles, lectures, and several organizations that he founded. Hook's legacies include being a leading Marxist-Leninist scholar, his long-standing commitment to secular humanism, his legacy as a legendary polemicist, his cultural conservatism if not neoconservatism, and his defense of democracy and John Dewey's pragmatic and Cold War liberalism. Bullert concludes that Hook's core philosophy is best typified by his Deweyan pragmatism, vigilant anti-communism, and secular humanism.
