From the Introduction: This inquiry is concerned with the themes of
praxis and action in four philosophic movements: Marxism,
existentialism, pragmatism, and analytic philosophy. It is rare
that these four movements are considered in a single inquiry, for
there are profound differences of emphasis, focus, terminology, and
approach represented by these styles of thought. Many philosophers
believe that similarities among these movements are superficial and
that a close examination of them will reveal only hopelessly
unbridgeable cleavages. While respecting the genuine fundamental
differences of these movements, this inquiry is undertaken in the
spirit of showing that there are important common themes and motifs
in what first appears to be a chaotic babble of voices. I intend to
show that the concern with man as an agent has been a primary focal
point of each of these movements and further that each contributes
something permanent and important to our understanding of the
nature and context of human activity.
