Description

The essays in Pragmatist and American Philosophical Perspectives on Resilience offer a survey of the ways that ';resilience' is becoming a key concept for understanding our world, as well as providing deeper insight about its specific actual and proposed applications.

As a concept with multiple theoretical and practical meanings, ';resilience' promises considerable explanatory power.

At the same time, current uses of the concept can be diverse and at times inconsistent.

The American philosophical tradition provides tools uniquely suited for clarifying, extending, and applying emerging concepts in more effective and suggestive ways.

This collection explores the usefulness of theoretical work in American philosophy and pragmatism to practices in ecology, community, rurality, and psychology.
