Condition: New. Single volume only. Hardback. Set ISBN: 1855068303. Single volume only. The Chicago school of pragmatism was one of the most controversial and prominent intellectual movements of the late 1800s and early 1900s. Spanning the ferment of academic and social thought that erupted in those turbulent times in America, the Chicago pragmatists earned widespread attention and respect for many decades. They were a central force in philospohy, contesting realism and idealism for supremacy in metaphysics, epistemology and value theory. Their functionalist views formed the Chicago school of religion, which sparked intense scrutiny into the real meaning of theism, religious experience and the role of religious values in society. Their social standpoint on psychology generated the Chicago school of sociology, social pscyhology and symbolic interactionism, aiming to make schools more reponsive to the democratic and industrial character of the country. In economics, labour issues, civil rights and liberal politics, the Chicago school was also impossible to ignore. This four-volume set focuses on the cornerstones of the thought grounding such intellectual activism - their philosophies of human nature, intelligence, values and social purpose. Key writings of these major philosophers are set in their proper context of important writings of James Angell, Edward Ames, Addison Moore, and of many of their graduates who had significant careers, including Ella Flagg Young, H. Heath Bawden, Arthur Rogers, Irving King, Kate Gordon, Douglas Macintosh, William Wright, Clarence Ayres and Charles Morris. Also included are their debates with many critics, such as James Mark Baldwin, George Santayana, William Montegue, Roy Wood Sellars and William Hocking. Spanning roughly 50 years, the 130 pieces are brought together from several dozens of obscure and increasingly rare books, journals and archival sources. This collection should be of interest to those studying American intellectual history, and especially the evolution of American philosphy, psychology, sociology, religion, education and politics. Fine and unread. Thoemmes Press, 2000. Seller Inventory # C210976
