| This collection represents the rediscovery of Josiah Royce's rich legacy that has occurred over the past decade.The first part presents a series of historical explorations. The second takes up practical extensions of Royce s work, bringing his ideas and methods to bear on contemporary philosophical matters. Among the topics addressed are the paradoxes of individualism, loyalty, democracy, and community, Royce s efforts to respond to historical American racism, his contributions to engaged inter-faith religious discourse, the promise of his theory of error for a feminist account of knowledge, and his ethics of loyalty as a component in medical ethics. |
