This text looks at the difference that differences make in a globalized world. Gunn uses the work of Henry James, John Dewey and others, as well as postcolonial writings, literature on the Holocaust and other literature to show how pragmatism can better account for the consequences of diversity.
In this text Giles Gunn asks how human solidarity can be reconceived when its expressions have become increasingly exceptionalist and outmoded, and when the pressures of globalization divide as much as they unify. Drawing on the work of Williams and Henry James, John Dewey, Primo Levi, Richard Rorty and others, as well as postcolonial writings, Jewish literature of the holocaust and the cultural and religious experience of African Americans in slavery, Gunn points pragmatism in a transnational direction and shows how it can better account for the consequences of diversity.
