Erudite and eloquent, John William Miller's writing engages readers with his "earthy" treatment of basic philosophical questions. Designed as an introduction to a compelling historicist philosophy, this volume presents Miller's best and most representative essays in a single, authoritative edition. Miller (1895-1978) taught at Williams College, and he is well known for his extraordinary teaching (described in Masters: Portraits of Great Teachers). He was also a philosopher of the first rank, who arrived at a strikingly original reinterpretation of the history of philosophy and the perennial philosophical problems, especially dualism. Challenging the dogmatism and nihilism that mark so much of recent philosophy, Miller advocated a thoughtful and engaged approach to life—one that revitalizes philosophical activity, embraces history, and joins reflection with participation in a democratic community. The editors have selected twenty-nine essays and have composed succinct introductions to each. Joseph P. Fell has contributed a general introduction that places Miller's thought in context and exhibits the contemporary relevance of his philosophy.

John E. Smith has contributed to contemporary philosophy in primarily four distinct capacities; first, as a philosopher of religion and God; second, as an indefatigable defender of philosophical reflection in its classical sense ( a sense inclusive of, but not limited to, metaphysics); third, as a participant in the reconstruction of experience and reason so boldly inaugurated by Hegel then radically transformed by the classical American pragmatists, and significantly augmented by such thinkers as Josiah Royce, William Earnest Hocking, and Alfred North Whitehead; fourth, as an interpreter of philosophical texts and traditions (Kant, Hegel, and Nietzsche no less than Charles Peirce, William James and John Dewey; German idealism as well as American; the Augustinian tradition no less than the pragmatic). Reason, Experience, and God provides an important and comprehensive look at the work of John E. Smith by collected essays which each address aspects of his life-long work. A response by John E. Smith himself draws a line of continuity between the pieces.

John William Miller's radical revision of the idealistic tradition anticipated some of the most important developments in contemporary thought, developments often associated with thinkers like Heidegger, Benjamin, Foucault, Derrida and Rorty. In this study, Vincent Colapietro situates Miller's powerful but neglected corpus not only in reference to Continental European philosophy but also to paradigmatic figures in American culture like Lincoln, Emerson, Thoreau and James. The work is not simply a study of a particular philosopher or a single philosophical movement (American idealism). It is rather a philosophical confrontation with a cluster of issues in contemporary life. These issues revolve around such topics as the grounds and nature of authority, the scope and forms of agency, and the fateful significance of historical place. These issues become especially acute given Colapietro's insistence that the only warrant for our practices is to be found in these historically evolved and evolving practices themselves.

This volume presents contributions from renowned semiotic scholars who wish to celebrate and honor the work of the eminent linguist and semiotician Winfried Nöth. Spanning over 50 years of innovative semiotic inquiry, primarily into the writings of C.S. Peirce, Nöth’s interdisciplinary research and publications have been pivotal in developing fecund approaches to semiotics, including the exploration of art, design, cultural politics, ecology, cognition, and artificial intelligence from an erudite and rigorous semiotic perspective. This is reflected in the contributions to Signs, Art, and Mind, which range from art and farming to cultural politics and a convincing demonstration of how Peirce’s semeiotic can facilitate medical discoveries. The book begins with a thorough investigation of Peirce’s relevance in the 21st century and proceeds with a comprehensive discussion of his theory of signs. It also covers the relevance of Peircean semiotics to art, language, and education, as well as its topicality in the fields of cognitive science, artificial intelligence, and human ingenuity. The range of the topics and the credentials of the contributors make this volume itself an exceptional and important contribution to contemporary scholarship while at the same time expressing admiration, gratitude, and indebtedness to a singular scholar and exemplary theorist.
