Susanne Langer in Focus by Robert E Innis

Susanne Langer in Focus by Robert E Innis

Susanne Langer (1895-1985) was one of American philosophy's most distinctive thinkers. This book shows how Langer's thought spans the sciences, aesthetics, psychology, religion, education, and music, and where it touches on concerns that were brought forward by American pragmatists, such as John Dewey and William James.

"This book is based on wide and deep erudition, written in an accessible, engaging, and eloquent manner" —Vincent Colapietro, The Pennsylvania State University

"Robert Innis has performed an immensely valuable service for scholars in the fields of American philosophy, aesthetics, and semiotics. Not only does his comprehensive view of Susanne K. Langer’s opus show us its development, but this is the only book in English devoted solely to Langer." —The Pluralist

Robert E. Innis is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Massachusetts, Lowell. He is author of Semiotics: An Introductory Anthology (IUP, 1985) and Consciousness and the Play of Signs (IUP, 1994). His most recent book is Pragmatism and the Forms of Sense: Language, Perception, Technics.
