The essays in Pragmatist and American Philosophical Perspectives on Resilience offer a survey of the ways that “resilience” is becoming a key concept for understanding our world, as well as providing deeper insight about its specific actual and proposed applications. As a concept with multiple theoretical and practical meanings, “resilience” promises considerable explanatory power. At the same time, current uses of the concept can be diverse and at times inconsistent. The American philosophical tradition provides tools uniquely suited for clarifying, extending, and applying emerging concepts in more effective and suggestive ways. This collection explores the usefulness of theoretical work in American philosophy and pragmatism to practices in ecology, community, rurality, and psychology.

Parker and Keith have brought together an outstanding collection of scholars, working in the American philosophical tradition to unearth the depths of the idea of resilience, both as a general concept and with a specific focus on the environment. I’m convinced by at least one of the common themes throughout: resilience is an inherently pragmatic idea, and in turn, American Pragmatism contains a repository of tools to help us better understand it. These essays contain important guidance for how resilience can help us in our emerging world of persistent, and--sometimes-- overwhelming change and flux.
