Toward a Metaphysics of Culture

Zusatztext "Stimulating! provocative! and magisterial! Margolis' intrepid study sketches how 21st century philosophers can develop what he terms pragmatism's best prospects. By depicting human beings not as a natural kind but as a 'second-natured! artifactual transform' Margolis presses not only pragmatism but philosophy itself toward a more productive arena! one where biology and enlanguaged culture intersect." - David L. Hildebrand! University of Colorado Denver Informationen zum Autor Joseph Margolis is Laura H. Carnell Professor of Philosophy at Temple University, USA.

Klappentext Toward a Metaphysics of Culture offers a heterodox account of the human person and its enlanguaged culture as a natural but artifactual transform of the human primate and the physical world, in terms of its invention and mastery of language and of the emergent abilities that that makes possible.
