The culmination of a critical study of neo-pragmatism philosophy
and its application to planning, "Dialogical Planning in a
Fragmented Society" begins with philosopher Stanley M. Stein's
examination of neo-pragmatism and his thoughts on how it can be
useful in the field of environmental design--specifically, how it
can be applied to planning procedures and problems. Neo-pragmatism
is an approach that has been, in the past, best expressed or
implied in the writing of Hilary Putnam, Richard Rorty, and, in
particular, Donald Davidson, John Rawls, and Ludwig Wittgenstein.
Thomas L. Harper furthers this tradition by providing the context
for this theoretical application from his academic background in
economics and management as well as his practical experience with
political decision-making processes, community planning, and
economic development. The result is a fresh synthesis of ideas--a
new approach to thinking about planning theory and its implications
for, and relationship with, practice. Philosopher Michael Walzer
has asserted that "philosophy reflects and articulates the
political culture of its time, and politics presents and enacts the
arguments of philosophy." Similarly, the authors view planning
theory as planning reflected upon in tranquility, away from the
tumult of battle, and planning practice as planning theory acted
out in the confusion of the trenches. Each changes the other in a
dynamic way, and the authors demonstrate the intimate and
inextricable link between them.
