Anotace
We see his face on stamps, coins, and currency and repeat his witty aphorisms, but few of us understand the breadth of Ben Franklin's influence on early American philosophy. In RECOVERING BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, James Campbell paints a unique portrait of Franklin, arguing that he was not only a creative inventor, insightful humorist, and skillful ambassador-but also an influential early member of the Pragmatist movement. Campbell explores Franklin's extraordinary place in American history, laying out his contributions to science, religion, morality, politics, and philosophy. He also emphasizes Franklin's vision of the social good: the need for institutions and structures to organize human cooperation, his advocacy of cooperation, education, and religious tolerance, and his assertion of the superiority of the simple life of the new American democracy.
