Josiah Royce
Pragmatist, Ethicist, Philosopher of Religion
Seiten
Josiah Royce gilt als einer der bedeutendsten Denker der klassischen amerikanischen Philosophie. Der lange Zeit vernachlässigte Autor versucht eine ganz eigene Synthese aus idealistischen und pragmatistischen Denkmotiven. In Zeiten der Auseinandersetzung um Fragen, was soziale Gemeinschaften zusammenhält, wie eine Ethik für plurale Lebenszusammenhänge aussehen könnte, und welche Rolle religiösen Überzeugungen in der Gegenwart nach wie vor zukommt, erweist sich Royces Denken von ungewohnter Aktualität.
Josiah Royce was undoubtedly one of the most interesting thinkers of classical American philosophy in the transition from the 19th to the 20th century. His works cover a wide range of subjects from psychology and issues of social philosophy to metaphysics. Surrounded by philosophers such as William James or Charles Sanders Peirce, Royce developed a concept of pragmatism which he himself called "absolute pragmatism" and which was centred around a theory of community. The essays in this edited volume deal with this pragmatistic approach in his work and discuss it from various points of view. Among other things, they explore Royce's relationship to German idealism, the foundation of his ethics as well as his philosophical doctrine of God and his philosophy of religion. This results in rather divergent assessments of his philosophy, each of which is evidence of the enduring relevance of his thinking for the world of today.
