Pragmatist and American Philosophical Perspectives on Resilience (Hardcover)

The essays in Pragmatist and American Philosophical Perspectives on Resilience offer a survey of the ways that "resilience" is becoming a key concept for understanding our world, as well as providing deeper insight about its specific actual and proposed applications. From climate change preparedness to mental health, resilience has recently emerged as a central focus of a variety of disciplines grounded in theoretical approaches as disparate as environmental philosophy, psychology, safety engineering, political science, and urban planning. As an emerging concept with multiple theoretical and practical meanings, "resilience" promises considerable explanatory power. At the same time, current uses of the concept can be diverse and at times inconsistent. The American philosophical tradition provides tools uniquely suited for clarifying, extending, and applying emerging concepts in more effective and suggestive ways. From cultural figures such as Benjamin Franklin and Wendell Berry to philosophers such as Jane Addams and William James, this collection explores the usefulness of theoretical work in American philosophy and pragmatism to practices in ecology, community, rurality, and psychology.
