It was a good addition to the series and tied up the story of Kory and Jacob which started a few books ago. In my head, Seth is Henry Cavill, so it was very easy to picture him from that point. Seth and Will ended up becoming my favourite couple. Picturing Croyde Bay helped me get the feel of this story.

While the first part explains why pragmatism is a humanist philosophy, the second part discusses why most pragmatists have been unwilling to consider the significance of form. ![]() This essay combines the endeavor to elucidate the idea of a pragmatist humanism with a discussion of the relationship between pragmatism and aesthetic form. This persistence of humanism is of the utmost importance, since one can only grasp the unique contemporary significance of pragmatism when one appreciates how pragmatism, humanism, anti-authoritarianism, and postmetaphysics are interlinked, and how this link has gained in importance after the exhaustion of antihumanist theories. ![]() While most theoretical approaches since the 1960s have radically rejected the humanist legacy, in pragmatism a particular understanding of humanism has persisted. Pragmatism is a humanist philosophy that tells an antifoundationalist and antirepresentationalist story of progress and emancipation. ![]() ![]() ![]() She tentatively treads into relationships, and moves into a New York City edifice with an eerie past.
