Josiah Royce: underrated, but not forgotten.,
By
This review is from: World and the Individual: Nature, Man, and the Moral Order (Paperback)
This volume _may_ be Royce's best work, and I'm delighted to see that it's available again (I had to buy a used copy when I looked for it some time ago). Royce was a genuinely great American philosopher and he still deserves to be read. More individualistically inclined than his Idealist brethren across the Atlantic, he was arguably also a more critical thinker than his American Idealist contemporaries; for my money, the only subsequent American philosopher to fill his footsteps was Brand Blanshard (and he wasn't quite an Idealist).Since _The Spirit of Modern Philosophy_ is also available, I'd personally recommend that book to the beginning reader of Royce. But do come back to this one. Most of Royce's subsequent work is devoted to developing his philosophy of loyalty and his vision of human community; it's very good, but he seldom returns to the metaphysical issues he discusses here, at least not in this much depth. Now if we can just get _The Religious Aspect of Philosophy_ back in print . . . |
