Abstract:
in the birth of a new school of philosophy, the Chicago School, which developed a powerful and compelling social pragmatism. In this collection of Tufts's writings, Campbell gives him a second chance to claim more than a minor role in American intellectual and philosophical history. In an introductory examination of Tufts's life and thought, Campbell offers the reader an understanding of Tufts and his place in the philosophical world. Then, emphasizing the fact that.
Tufts's prime objective was to advance the common good through intelligent social reconstruction, Campbell presents pieces from throughout Tufts's long and productive career. Arranged chronologically, these selections represent the full range of Tufts's thought, from his concept of justice as the key value for harmonious community life to his views on religion and the evolutionary question. A carefully annotated bibliography of all of Tufts's writings completes this.
volume. Although Campbell succeeds in reestablishing Tufts's reputation as an important philosophical thinker, Tufts's writings are the real proof that he is a figure who deserves the opportunity to regain a place in our collective philosophical memory, both for the role that he played in the history of American thought and for the intellectual perspective that he developed.
