Inside cover: This special supplement of the Journal of Philosophical Research contains invited papers prepared by several well-known philosophers on the occasion of the 100th annivesary of the founding of the American Philosophical Association (APA). These wide-ranging essays look ahead as well as to the recent and more distant past, and suggest the diversity, directions, and challenge of contemporary philosophy in the United States. Table of Contents: Robert Audi, Preface; John R. Searle, Philosophy in a New Century; Gilbert Harman, The Future of the A Priori; Charlene Haddock Seigfried, Has Passion a Place in Philosophy?; Karen Hanson, On "Those Truths of Experience Upon Which Philosophy is Founded;" George S. Pappas, On Some Philosophical Accounts of Perception; Jaegwon Kim, The American Origins of Philosophical Naturalism; Christine M. Korsgaard, Realism and Constructivism in Twentieth-Century Moral Philosophy.
"This collection of essays makes a powerful and coherent case for a renascent pragmatism as a tool and organizing principle for socio-legal research and for the talents of a new generation of scholars embracing this tool. The uninitiated reader will learn important insights into the contribution and history of pragmatism, while those more familiar with pragmatism will see its particular utility for cutting-edge socio-legal research superbly exemplified in this volume." Bryant Garth, Director, American Bar Foundation, Chicago, USA. My essay, "The Dilemma of Democracy: Diversity of Interests and Common Experiences," is included in this collection.
