14Perception, Reason, and Intuition in the Development Of Expertise: Reflections on Zhuangzi and Contemporary Western TheoryEducational Theory 74 (1): 66-84. 2024.In this paper, Leonard Waks investigates connections between listening and expertise or mastery, contrasting approaches from Eastern and Western philosophy. The first section accounts for listening in the Daoist classic Zhuangzi, a work addressing themes in Chinese philosophy through metaphor and story narratives.

8Bibliometrics and Qualitative Assessment: a Pragmatist ApproachContemporary Pragmatism 20 (1-2): 150-168. 2023.In this essay we explore whether and how we should use bibliometrics in hiring, promoting, and granting in the academy.

We begin with a literature review of current work evaluating the role and use of bibliometrics in the academy, from advocating for them to questioning their construct validity and assessing their limitat…Read more

54Post-experimentalist pragmatismStudies in Philosophy and Education 17 (1): 17-28. 1998.Rorty's neopragmatism is an attempt to retrofit Dewey's experimentalism for the post-modern situation. Specifically, he substitutes "language" for "experience" and "culture" for "science", to arrive at a philosophy "no closer to science than to art". I argue that the first move results from misunderstanding of the role experience plays in the context of verification in Dewey's experimental logic. The second move leaves Rorty without any alternative method even for approaching the very problems w…Read more
