Robert Roth, among the first few Catholics to write favorably, even
if critically, about American pragmatism, presents here a creative
piece of comparative philosophy in which he achieves a long-term
goal of attempting a reconciliation between pragmatism and a
classical spiritual and religious perspective. The title, Radical
Pragmatism, is an adaptation of William James's "radical
empiricism." James had argues that the classical empiricists, Locke
and Hume, did not go far enough in their account of experience.
They missed some of its most important aspects, namely connections
and relations, and as a result they were left with discrete sense
data and sense objects.
This volume contributes to the remarkable resurgence in interest in
American pragmatism and its proponents, William James, C.S. Peirce
and John Dewey by focusing on the influence of British empiricism,
especially the philosophies of Locke and Hume, and the sharp
differences between the two traditions. It is Roth's contention
that American pragmatism, sometimes called America's first
indigenous philosophy, has something significant to say
philosophically not only for America, but for the world. Here, the
author claims, the lines of development and divergence between
British empiricism and American pragmatism have not been
sufficiently developed.
