The ancient antagonism between the active and the contemplative
lives is taken up in this innovative and wide-ranging examination
of John William Miller's effort of forge a metaphysics of
democracy. The Active Life sheds new light on Miller's actualist
philosophy--its scope, its systematic character, and its
dialectical form. Michael J. McGandy persuasively sets Miller's
actualism in the context of Hannah Arendt's understanding of the
active life and skillfully presents actualism as a response to
Whitman's challenge to craft a democratic form of metaphysics.
McGandy concludes that Miller reveals how the philosophical and the
political are inextricably connected, how there is no active life
without the contemplative life, and that the contemplative life is
founded in the active life.
