The sixteen chapters of Josiah Royce for the Twenty-first Century
are papers from the Fourth Annual Conference on American and
European Values / International Conference on Josiah Royce, held at
the Institute of Philosophy, University of Opole, Poland in June
2008. The presentation of diverse perspectives, and the development
of many distinctive, promising strands of inquiry from the spring
of Royce s work, establish that Royce offers significant resources
for a number of areas of contemporary philosophy. The book is
organized into four parts: (I) Historical Reinterpretations, (II)
Ethics: Interpretations of Loyalty, (III) Religious Philosophy, and
(IV) Contemporary Implications. Section I considers Royce s
position in the history if ideas, with papers on his account of
individuation, his expansion on a key idea from Kant, his use and
contribution to mathematical and philosophical conceptions of the
infinite and the absolute, and his adaptation of Peircean
semiotics. Sections II and III consist of focused readings of Royce
s work regarding ethics and religious philosophy, respectively.
Section IV is the most diverse in the topics covered, with papers
that bring Royce into contemporary discussions of psychology, of
the problem of reference, of Rortyan neo-pragmatism, and of
literary aesthetics. The purpose of the Opole conference was to
elicit fresh perspectives on the work of Josiah Royce from an
international group of contributors. This collection achieves that
aim by presenting new approaches to relatively familiar writings,
by drawing out promising implications of Roycean themes, and by
making genuinely new applications of his ideas. Josiah Royce for
the Twenty-first Century presents a rich interaction among a
diverse mix of commentators, who retrieve and construct promising
new insights from the work of one of America's greatest thinkers."
