PHI 665 Pragmatism & Finitude

This course traces the reevaluation of the person in light of pragmatic principles and in response to the positivism ill-equipped to address the manifold horizons of finitude and subjectivity. The contributions of Peirce, Dewey, James, and Santayana guide this course. Pragmatism in relation to and in tension with Phenomenology is addressed in the latter half of the course.
