A propos de l'auteur

Résumé

In this work Victor Kestenbaum questions the oft-repeated assumption that John Dewey's pragmatism has no place for the transcendent. He demonstrates that, far from ignoring the transcendent ideal, Dewey's works are in fact shaped by the tension between the natural and the transcendent.
