In Reconstructing Individualism, James Albrecht argues that our conceptions of individualism have remained trapped within the assumptions of classic liberalism. He traces an alternative genealogy of individualist ethics in four major American thinkers—Ralph Waldo Emerson, William James, John Dewey, and Ralph Ellison. These writers’ shared commitments to pluralism (metaphysical and cultural), experimentalism, and a melioristic stance toward value and reform led them to describe the self as inherently relational. Accordingly, they articulate models of selfhood that are socially engaged and ethically responsible, and they argue that a reconceived—or, in Dewey’s term, “reconstructed”—individualism is not merely compatible with but necessary to democratic community. Conceiving selfhood and community as interrelated processes, they call for an ongoing reform of social conditions so as to educate and liberate individuality, and, conversely, they affirm the essential role individuality plays in vitalizing communal efforts at reform.American philosophy.Individualism in literatureIndividualismUnited StatesHistoryLiterature and societyUnited StatesPhilosophy, American19th centuryPhilosophy, American20th centuryPragmatism in literatureDemocracy.Ethics.Individualism.John Dewey.Pragmatism.Ralph Ellison.Ralph Waldo Emerson.Transcendentalism.William James.Individualism in literature.IndividualismHistory.Literature and societyPhilosophy, AmericanPhilosophy, AmericanPragmatism in literature.141/.40973PHI020000PHI019000bisacshAlbrecht James M928221MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996248222103316Reconstructing individualism2086002UNISA
