Creative Intelligence : Essays in the Pragmatic Attitude

In 'Creative Intelligence', Horace Meyer Kallen and his distinguished colleagues John Dewey, James Hayden Tufts, among others, delve into the realms of pragmatism and its implications for modern thought. The collection of essays stands as a testament to the intellectual movement of pragmatism in the early 20th century, emphasizing the interplay between thought and action, and the role of human creativity in practical affairs. Kallen's literary style in addressing these subjects is both analytical and accessible, fostering an environment where complex philosophical ideas can be engaged by a broader audience. The book is a cornerstone in its field and gives insight into the pragmatist perspective that has profoundly influenced educational, political, and ethical theory. The scholarly significance of this work derives not only from its content but also from its context within the literary cannon of American philosophy.

Horace Meyer Kallen's work on 'Creative Intelligence' emanates from a life steeped in academic inquiry and a commitment to understanding the human condition. An advocate for cultural pluralism and a student of William James, Kallen's own experiences and intellectual pursuits undoubtedly seep into his writing, reflecting his belief in the necessity of innovative thought in societal progress. The essays compiled in this volume, co-authored with notable philosophers like Dewey and Mead, exhibit a shared enthusiasm for the practical application of philosophical concepts and a resistance to the notion that intellect is detached from the day-to-day workings of life.

'Creative Intelligence' comes highly recommended for readers interested in philosophy, especially those intrigued by the practicalities of theory within the lived experience. This edition from DigiCat Publishing, while maintaining scholarly integrity, brings the seminal work into contemporary accessibility, thereby ensuring its continued relevance. It is an essential read for anyone looking to grasp the underpinnings of pragmatism and its enduring influence on the course of intellectual discourse. The book serves not only as a rich academic resource but also as an encouragement for creative engagement with the challenges of our time.
