C. I. Lewis in focus

C. I. Lewis (1883--1964) was one of the most important thinkers of his
generation. In this book, Sandra B. Rosenthal explores Lewis's philosophical vision,
and links his thought to the traditions of classical American pragmatism. Tracing
Lewis's influences, she explains the central concepts informing his thinking and how
he developed a unique and practical vision of the human experience. She shows how
Lewis contributed to the enrichment and expansion of pragmatism, opening new paths
of constructive dialogue with other traditions. This book will become a standard
reference for readers who want to know more about one of American philosophy's most
distinguished minds.

Sandra B. Rosenthal is Provost Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at
