Presenting pragmatist humanism as a form of anti-authoritarianism,
this book sheds light on the contemporary significance of
pragmatist aesthetics and the revival of humanism. This
interdisciplinary study shows that a mediation between pragmatist
aesthetics – which emphasizes the significance of creating,
making, and inventing – and Marxist materialist aesthetics –
which values form – promises interesting results and that the
former can learn from the latter. In doing so, Ulf Schulenberg
discusses 3 layers of the multi-layered phenomenon that is the
revival of humanism: He first explains the potential of a
pragmatist humanism, clarifying the contemporary significance of
humanism. He then argues that pragmatist humanism is a form of
anti-authoritarianism. Finally, he shows the possibility of
bringing together the resurgence of humanism and a renewed interest
in the work of aesthetic form by arguing that pragmatist aesthetics
needs a more complex conception of form. Establishing a
transatlantic theoretical dialogue, Humanism,
Anti-Authoritarianism, and Literary Aesthetics brings together
literary and aesthetic theory, philosophy, and intellectual
history. It discusses a broad range of authors – from Emerson,
Whitman, James, Nietzsche, Proust, and Dewey to Wittgenstein,
Lukács, Adorno, Jameson, Latour, and Rorty – to illuminate how
humanism, pragmatism, and anti-authoritarianism are interlinked.
