Yes, But Not Quite: Encountering Josiah Royce's Ethico-Religious Insight by Dway

Description: Yes, But Not Quite by Dwayne A. Tunstall Contends that Josiah Royce bequeathed to philosophy a novel idealism based on an ethico-religious insight. This title examines how Royces ethico-religious insight could be strengthened by incorporating the philosophical theology of Dr Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr, and Emmanuel Levinas ethical metaphysics. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This book contends that Josiah Royce bequeathed to philosophy a novel idealism based on an ethico-religious insight. This insight became the basis for an idealistic personalism, wherein the Real is the personal and a metaphysics of community is the most appropriate approach to metaphysics for personal beings, especially in an often impersonal and technological intellectual climate. The first part of the book traces how Royce constructed his idealistic personalism in response to criticisms made by George Holmes Howison. That personalism is interpreted as an ethical and panentheistic one, somewhat akin to Charles Hartshornes process philosophy. The second part investigates Royces idealistic metaphysics in general and his ethico-religious insight in particular. In the course of these investigations, the author examines how Royces ethico-religious insight could be strengthened by incorporating the philosophical theology of Dr. Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., and Emmanuel Levinass ethical metaphysics. The author concludes by briefly exploring the possibility that Royces progressive racial anti-essentialism is, in fact, a form of cultural, antiblack racism and asks whether his cultural, antiblack racism taints his ethico-religious insight.
