This book provides a comprehensive overview of Alain Locke's
pragmatist philosophy. It aims to capture the radical implications
of Locke's approach within pragmatism, the critical temper embedded
in Locke's works, the central role of power and empowerment of the
oppressed, and the concept of broad democracy Locke employed.
Arguing that the school of thought Locke initiated is best
described as critical pragmatism, the well-known philosopher and
Locke scholar, Leonard Harris, provides a clear and thorough
introduction to Locke's thought that will be useful to students and
scholars alike. At a time when critical theory in all
forms-post-Marxist, legal, race, and gender theory-is undergoing a
major reassessment, this volume is especially timely. Locke's
critical pragmatism arguably avoids the pitfalls of critical
theory, anticipates its tremendous contribution to human
liberation, and offers an alternative to the limitations of
classical pragmatism. This volume introduces unique individual
interpretations of Locke and critical reflections on his
philosophy. Each author, in the spirit of Locke's critical temper,
offers their own contribution to extremely difficult issues.
