Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Things and Ideals: Essays in Functional Philosophy' is a profound exploration of the relationship between the material world and human values. Max Carl Otto, a significant figure in American functionalism and naturalistic humanism, presents a series of thought-provoking essays that challenge… the traditional separation between facts and ideals. By advocating for a philosophy that is grounded in the realities of human experience, Otto seeks to reconcile the scientific understanding of 'things' with the ethical pursuit of 'ideals.'Throughout the work, the author examines how social and individual goals can be integrated into a coherent worldview that prioritizes human flourishing. He critiques rigid metaphysical systems and instead proposes a functional approach where philosophy serves as a practical tool for navigating life's complexities. The essays cover topics ranging from the nature of truth and morality to the role of religion in a modern, scientific age. This collection remains an essential text for those interested in the development of American pragmatism and the search for meaning in a secular world. Otto's clear prose and rigorous intellect make 'Things and Ideals' a landmark contribution to 20th-century ethical thought.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
