Beyond Objectivism and Relativism: Science, Hermeneutics, and PraxisUniversity of Pennsylvania Press, 1983 - 284 pages Drawing freely and expertly from Continental and analytic traditions, Richard Bernstein examines a number of debates and controversies exemplified in the works of Gadamer, Habermas, Rorty, and Arendt. He argues that a "new conversation" is emerging about human rationality—a new understanding that emphasizes its practical character and has important ramifications both for thought and action. |
