Collecting sixteen key texts on a broad range of key philosophical topics enables readers to perceive the scope of Shusterman’s philosophy and appreciate its systematic aspects.
Richard Shusterman is one of today’s foremost philosophers. His influential and widely translated work is distinctive for its originality and its integration of multiple philosophical perspectives (analytic philosophy, phenomenology, hermeneutics, critical theory, and East Asian thought) to create a new transcultural pragmatist vision. Although most famous for his groundbreaking writings in aesthetics, somatic philosophy, and philosophy as an art of living, these texts are integrally connected with Shusterman’s vital views on ontology, epistemology, and philosophy of mind, ethics, and politics. Collecting sixteen key texts on this broad range of topics, The Critical Shusterman enables readers to perceive the scope of Shusterman’s philosophy and appreciate its systematic aspects. Editor Crispin Sartwell’s superb introduction highlights those aspects in assessing Shusterman’s thought in the context of contemporary philosophy while suggesting ways that Shusterman’s project could be developed in the future.
