Abstract

One of the most debated terms in the so-called culture wars is objectivity. In this collection of mostly previously published essays, Haskell investigates the notion of objectivity in terms of the explanatory schemes, or shared conceptual frameworks, by which we explain and justify our understandings of reality. In defining explanatory schemes Haskell invokes Thomas Kuhn, William James, John Dewey, and others from the pragmatic tradition.
