• Statement of Responsibility: Timothy Kaufman-Osborn.

This book mobilizes the spirit of pragmatism to explore an issue central to modernity: the vitality of democracy in a technological age.In an unconventional way, Timothy Kaufman-Osborn weaves John Dewey's words with his own in order to address, among others, Plato, Aristotle, Locke, Descartes, Durkheim, Weber, Habermas, and Rorty. Like other works of pragmatic philosophy, Politics/Sense/Experience questions the alleged isolation of mind from experience for Kaufman-Osborn pragmata are those ordinary affairs whose refashioning elicits sense from experience that would otherwise remain unknown.
