In this book Steven Levine explores the relation between
objectivity and experience from a pragmatic point of view. Like
many new pragmatists he aims to rehabilitate objectivity in the
wake of Richard Rorty's rejection of the concept. But he challenges
the idea, put forward by pragmatists like Robert Brandom, that
objectivity is best rehabilitated in communicative-theoretic terms
- namely, in terms that can be cashed out by capacities that agents
gain through linguistic communication. Levine proposes instead that
objectivity is best understood in experiential-theoretic terms. He
explains how, in order to meet the aims of the new pragmatists, we
need to do more than see objectivity as a norm of rationality
embedded in our social-linguistic practices; we also need to see it
as emergent from our experiential interaction with the world.
Innovative and carefully argued, this book redeems and
re-actualizes for contemporary philosophy a key insight developed
by the classical pragmatists.
