- Pragmatism, Rights, and Democracy.Beth J. Singer -2020 - Fordham University Press.Extending her earlier work on a theory of human rights in her 1993 Operative Rights, Singer (emerita, American philosophy presumably, City U. of New York) critiques philosophies from Rousseau to Kymlicka in clarifying her views--influenced by Dewey and Mead (George Herbert, not Margaret)--and applying them to such issues as multiculturalism, minority rights, and conflict resolution. The analysis pivots on her concept of "a normative community" rather than natural rights. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
- Antifoundationalism old and new.Tom Rockmore &Beth J. Singer (eds.) -1992 - Philadelphia: Temple University Press.The debate over foundationalism, the viewpoint that there exists some secure foundation upon which to build a system of knowledge, appears to have been resolved and the antifoundationalists have at least temporarily prevailed. From a firmly historical approach, the book traces the foundationalism/antifoundationalism controversy in the work of many important figures Animaxander, Aristotle and Plato, Augustine, Descartes, Hegel and Nietzsche, Habermas and Chisholm, and others throughout the history of philosophy. The contributors, Joseph Margolis, Ronald Polansky, Gary Calore, Fred and Emily (...) Michael, William Wurzer, Charlene Haddock Siegfried, Sandra B. Rosenthal, Kathleen Wallace, and the editors present well the diversity, interest, and roots of antifoundationalism. Tom Rockmore is Professor and Chairman in the Department of Philosophy at Duquesne University. Beth J. Singer is Professor of Philosophy at Brooklyn College of the City University of New York.

- Operative Rights.Beth J. Singer -1993 - State University of New York Press.Drawing on the thought of George Herbert Mead, Justis Buchler, and others, Singer (philosophy, City U. of New York) develops a theory that challenges the individualism of the human rights tradition, and ascribes rights to collectivities as ...
- Gewirth: Critical Essays on Action, Rationality, and Community.Anita Allen,Lawrence C. Becker,Deryck Beyleveld,David Cummiskey,David DeGrazia,David M. Gallagher,Alan Gewirth,Virginia Held,Barbara Koziak,Donald Regan,Jeffrey Reiman,Henry Richardson,Beth J. Singer,Michael Slote,Edward Spence &James P. Sterba -1998 - Rowman & Littlefield Publishers.As one of the most important ethicists to emerge since the Second World War, Alan Gewirth continues to influence philosophical debates concerning morality. In this ground-breaking book, Gewirth's neo-Kantianism, and the communitarian problems discussed, form a dialogue on the foundation of moral theory. Themes of agent-centered constraints, the formal structure of theories, and the relationship between freedom and duty are examined along with such new perspectives as feminism, the Stoics, and Sartre. Gewirth offers a picture of the philosopher's theory and (...) its applications, providing a richer, more complete critical assessement than any which has occurred to date. (shrink)

- Pragmatism and Pluralism.Beth J. Singer -1992 -The Monist 75 (4):477-491.‘Pragmatism’, even though it names a recognizable movement in philosophy, does not denote a unitary outlook. Nevertheless, the contention that the connection among the diverse Pragmatist philosophers is only methodological is ill-founded. There are substantive features of Pragmatist thought that are characteristic, and one of these is pluralism. My objective in this paper is twofold: first, to review some of the pluralist elements in the writings of Peirce, James, and Dewey and, second, to call attention to the work of two (...) seldom discussed Pragmatists in whose writings pluralism is a central motif, John Herman Randall, Jr. and Horace Kallen. I shall be concerned with metaphysical and moral pluralism and also with the empirical and phenomenological pluralism to which both are linked. (shrink)
- Philosophic Systems and Systematic Philosophy.Beth J. Singer -1999 -The Proceedings of the Twentieth World Congress of Philosophy 2:227-235.Apart from scholarly studies of other philosophers, most of my work in philosophy has been confined to the theory of human rights. I have never tried to develop a system in the sense that, say, Whitehead and Santayana did, yet I think of myself as a systematic philosopher. In what sense can I claim that my theory of what I call “operative rights” and my application of this theory are systematic? Is there a difference between a philosophic system and the (...) systematic treatment ofphilosophic topics? (shrink)No categories
