Dismayed at what he saw as the recent tendency to misconstrue pragmatism as a freewheeling form of relativism designed to abrogate rational standards rather than a normatively rigorous doctrine designed to substantiate them, Rescher (philosophy, U. of Pittsburgh) defends the American contribution to systematic philosophy against deconstruction into philosophical vacuity. In some ways, his treatise is a companion to his 1996 Process Metaphysics: An Introduction to Process Philosophy.
Nicholas Rescher is University Professor of Philosophy at the University of Pittsburgh. He is the author of numerous works, including Predicting the Future: An Introduction to the Theory of Forecasting, Process Metaphysics: An Introduction to Process Philosophy, and Dialectics: A Controversy-Oriented Approach to the Theory of Knowledge, all published by SUNY Press.
