The Critical Shusterman

"The Critical Shusterman is a stunning collection of writings from Richard Shusterman's philosophical corpus. It introduces the rich contributions of a philosopher who has an uncanny feel for his subjects, including pragmatism, aesthetics, epistemology, ethics, and hermeneutics … No matter where you are on your professional journey, Shusterman's work provides a sense of broader philosophical debates, tensions, and possibilities. He equips readers to have a better view of wider philosophical landscapes, thereby enriching their capacity for theoretical discernment and philosophical reflexivity. For early-career graduate students and junior scholars, this is an especially valuable gift." — Contemporary Pragmatism

"This collection offers an accessible assemblage of Richard Shusterman's prolific philosophical, critical, and interpretive essays, prefaced by a very illuminating interpretative essay by Crispin Sartwell that conveys the coherence and power of Shusterman's larger project of cultivating embodied thinking and self-reflective living. The ever-expanding breadth and depth of Shusterman's oeuvre and wide transdisciplinary influence create a need for The Critical Shusterman, which will be a boon to anyone who has encountered one of the many axes of his multipronged body of work." — Chris Voparil, Lynn University
