Way Beyond Monochrome by Ralph W Lambrecht

Way Beyond Monochrome by Ralph W Lambrecht

The textual and contextual connections between John Rawls's intellectual figure and American pragmatism (broadly conceived) have become topics of discussion only recently. This is at least in part due to the fact that Rawls seemed to have taken a pragmatic turn in his intellectual trajectory--from A Theory of Justice (1971) to Political Liberalism (1993). John Rawls and American Pragmatism: Between Engagement and Avoidance intervenes in these discussions with two unconventional claims corroborated by archival research. First, Daniele Botti shows that Rawls's thinking owes more to the American pragmatists' views than is generally recognized. Second, and in the light of the pragmatist sources of Rawls's thinking, Botti argues that we should reverse the common narrative about Rawls's alleged pragmatic turn and interpret it as a quite un-pragmatic one. By making the case for interpreting Rawls as an American pragmatist, this book profoundly transforms not only a widely held interpretation about Rawls's intellectual trajectory, but also our understanding of American philosophical vicissitude in the second half of the twentieth century.

Chris Woodhouse was born in England. As a member of the Royal Photographic Society, he gained his Associate distinction in 2002. During the last twenty-five years, his passion for all forms of photography, coupled with a career of design experience, led him to invent and patent several unique darkroom timers and meters, which are sold throughout the world. After the success of his first book Way Beyond Monochrome, he turned his attention to digital monochrome and astrophotography. Since writing two editions of The Astrophotography Manual, he gained fellowship to the Royal Astronomical Society on account of his outreach work.
