Abstract

Abstract:After considering why pragmatism should constructively treat issues of sexuality and erotic love and why it traditionally failed to, this paper examines the sexual views of classical pragmatism’s leading figures. Focusing primarily on the canonical, heterosexual, white founding fathers—Peirce, James, Dewey, and Mead, it then examines sexuality in Jane Addams and Alain Locke, whose difference of gender or race is complemented by alterity of sexual attitudes. While exposing the shortcomings of these pragmatist sexual theories, the paper conversely shows the resources that classical pragmatism has for a more constructive and fulfilling treatment of sexuality and erotic love.

实用主义与性:一种未实现的联系

摘要:本文在考察了实用主义为什么应该建设性地对待性和性爱问题以及传统上为什么不能的基础上，考察了古典实用主义主要人物的性观点。本书主要关注正统的异性恋白人开国元勋——皮尔斯、詹姆斯、杜威和米德，然后考察了简·亚当斯和阿兰·洛克的性取向，他们的性别或种族差异与性态度的多样性相补充。在揭示这些实用主义性理论的缺点的同时，论文反过来展示了古典实用主义对于性和性爱更具建设性和令人满意的治疗的资源。

期刊介绍： Transactions of the Charles S. Peirce Society has been the premier peer-reviewed journal specializing in the history of American philosophy since its founding in 1965. Although named for the founder of American pragmatism, American philosophers of all schools and periods, from the colonial to the recent past, are extensively discussed. TCSPS regularly includes essays, and every significant book published in the field is discussed in a review essay. A subscription to the journal includes membership in the Charles S. Peirce Society, which was founded in 1946 by Frederic H. Young. The purpose of the Society is to encourage study of and communication about the work of Peirce and its ongoing influence in the many fields of intellectual endeavor to which he contributed.
