Philosophy of Loyalty

John J. McDermott, author of the introduction to this new edition, is Distinguished Professor of Philosophy and Head of Humanities in Medicine at Texas A&M University. He is the editor of five volumes of scholarly editions of the writings of William James, John Dewey, and Josiah Royce, as well as several textbooks and collections of philosophical essays.

This new edition of The Philosophy of Loyalty, with the addition of John McDermott's excellent introduction, should stimulate a lively debate among moral theorists. As one of the first volumes in the Vanderbilt Library of American Philosophy, it foretokens an outstanding series of publications. --John Clendenning, author of The Life and Thought of Josiah Royce
