Description
Engages contemporary European thought on a variety of philosophical topics.
Calvin O. Schrag, one of America's leading philosophers, traverses the literal and metaphysical boundaries of Bulgaria, England, France, Russia, and the Czech Republic and offers a new examination of hermeneutics, phenomenology, subjectivity, and transnational identity. He presents his notion of rationality-transversal rationality-with unusual clarity and simplicity, while encouraging the continuing philosophic dialogue of humankind across cultures.
Calvin O. Schrag is the George Ade Distinguished Professor of Philosophy Emeritus at Purdue University. He is the author of eight books, including Philosophical Papers: Betwixt and Between and the coeditor (with William L. McBride) of Phenomenology in a Pluralistic Context, both published by SUNY Press.
