ISBN: 9780823255283 出版年：2014 页码：341 Parker Fordham University Press

This collection represents the rediscovery of Josiah Royce's rich legacy that has occurred over the past decade.The first part presents a series of historical explorations. The second takes up practical extensions of Royce's work, bringing his ideas and methods to bear on contemporary philosophical matters. Among the topics addressed are the paradoxes of individualism; loyalty, democracy, and community; Royce's efforts to respond to historical American racism; his contributions to engaged inter-faith religious discourse; the promise of his theory of error for a feminist account of knowledge; and his ethics of loyalty as a component in medical ethics.
