Community, Dignity, and Equality: Foundations for a Feasible Egalitarian IdealDissertation, University of Minnesota. 1987.Since ancient times, equality has been a highly controversial moral and political concept. The most insightful conception of equality treats it as an essentially contested container concept symbolizing and organizing an entire ethico-politico conceptual field, in rivalry with other conceptual fields whose container concepts are liberty and the excellent society. ;A reliable philosophical method for evaluating the objective preferability of these rival ethico-political ideals is a form of the met…Read more

26Pragmatism and diversity: Dewey in the context of late twentieth century debates (edited book)Palgrave-Macmillan. 2012.Diversity is both an unavoidable aspect of twenty-first century living and a powerful challenge to older philosophical traditions that still assume as normatively universal a set of values, ways of thinking, institutions, and habits of living that emerged within earlier eras of more homogeneous cultures, less developed technologies, and more accepted forms of linguistic, legal, religious, economic, political, and military domination. Within recent years, new styles of philosophical discourse, in…Read more

53Feminist critics have charged that Aristotle's mistaken and harmful remarks about women and slaves show inconsistency or bias-driven arbitrariness. However, this analysis shows that these remarks function within a consistent and coherent theoretical corpus. Thus, both Aristotle's hierarchical and dualistic first principles and the methodology on which his entire corpus is based must be unreliable. Moreover, consistency and coherence must be insufficient warrants of theoretical insightfulness. Ar…Read more

35On the Passing of Richard Rorty and the Future of American PhilosophyContemporary Pragmatism 4 (2): 35-44. 2007.The passing of Richard Rorty is an event to mark in the annals of American philosophy - the passing of a spirit-guide to some, and of a dark shadow to others, but certainly that of an original, iconoclastic thinker who brought classical American pragmatism back into the contemporary philosophical conversation, and who got philosophers telling stories of achieving a long-loved dream of democracy. I outline a twelve-point agenda for productive future philosophical wrangles with Rorty, highlighting…Read more

19Deep Democracy: Community, Diversity, and TransformationRowman & Littlefield Publishers. 1999.Deeply understood, democracy is more than a "formal" institutional framework for which America provides the model, acting as a preferable alternative to the modern totalitarian regimes that have distorted social life around the world. At its core, as John Dewey understood, democracy is a realistic ideal, a desired and desirable future possibility that is yet-to-be. In this period of global crises in differing cultures, a shared environment, and an increasingly globalized political economy, this …Read more
