12Performing Live: Aesthetic Alternatives for the Ends of ArtCornell University Press. 2000.Current philosophies of art remain sadly dominated by visions of its end and lamentations of decline. Defining the very notions of art and the aesthetic as special products of Western modernity, they suggest that postmodern challenges to traditional high culture pose a devastating danger to Art's future. Richard Shusterman's new book cuts through the seductive confusions of these views by tracing the earthy roots of aesthetic experience and showing how the recent flourishing of aesthetic forms o…Read more

11Pragmatism and the Pluralism of Paths: Reflections on Voparil’s Reconstructing Pragmatism: Richard Rorty and the Classical PragmatistsContemporary Pragmatism 19 (4): 391-400. 2022.After noting Rorty’s rhetorical use of binary oppositions, which belies important continuities (and which is even reflected in the problem of radically opposing classical pragmatism to neopragmatism), I question the idea that progress in pragmatism must go through engagement with Rorty. I do so by arguing that Rorty failed to treat or outright rejected some important philosophical issues. I consequently challenge the famous model for pragmatist pluralism: the metaphor of a single hotel corridor …Read more

22Pragmatist Aesthetics: Histories, Questions, and ConsequencesEuropean Journal of Pragmatism and American Philosophy 13 (1). 2021.Roberta Dreon - Richard Shusterman is one of the leading figures in the current field of pragmatist aesthetics and he has undoubtedly played a pivotal role in recovering a pragmatist approach to aesthetics. His book Pragmatist Aesthetics was simultaneously published in France under the title L’Art à l’état vif. La pensée pragmatiste et l’esthétique populaire in 1992, paving the way for a long awaited French translation of Dewey’s Art as Experience in 2010, beaut...

8Pragmatism and Interpretation: Radical, Relativistic, but not UnrulyContemporary Pragmatism 19 (2): 91-112. 2022.Interpretation has been a key theme in pragmatist aesthetics, but its centrality in neopragmatist thinking goes far beyond the field of art. Its influence extends into epistemology, ontology, and the philosophies of language, history, selfhood, and culture. Joseph Margolis devoted many articles and even an entire book to this topic, which he titled Interpretation Radical but Not Unruly. My critical examination of Margolis’s theory of interpretation shows how it is radical not only in terms of it…Read more

6La philosophie comme vie éveillée chez Emerson et ThoreauCahiers Philosophiques 120 (4): 15-24. 2009.Emerson et Thoreau ont donné à la philosophie le sens d’une manière de vivre, consacrée à l’élévation de la conscience et à l’amélioration de soi. Par leur conception esthétique de la vie philosophique, ils se situent dans une tradition qui va de Platon au pragmatisme, mais ils sont également proches de la pensée orientale par leur injonction à mener une vie éveillée, au sens bouddhiste. La réforme morale et l’esthétique de soi participent à un être éveillé par quoi la vie philosophique se sépar…Read more

9Körperbewusstsein und HandelnDeutsche Zeitschrift für Philosophie 57 (6): 831-844. 2009.To what extent is explicit and reflective body consciousness useful in improving our performance of action? Having examined why influential Western and Asian philosophers have denied the value of such awareness, asserting instead the superiority of spontaneous action, this paper then offers a more nuanced position by showing the ways and contexts in which such body consciousness can improve our action. This is done through a close reading of some classical Chinese and Japanese texts together wit…Read more
