Reviews

"…Roberta Dreon's book is well written and shines with the clarity of exposition. A rare balance has been found between precision in the historical reconstruction of the most important authors in the history of pragmatism and the originality of the philosophical proposal. However, not only is it an important contribution to the philosophy of anthropology—a much-needed work that approaches this discipline from an original pragmatist approach—but it is also a book rich in important insights for contemporary aesthetics." — British Journal of Aesthetics

"Human Landscapes offers a novel pragmatist version of philosophical anthropology that has much to say about contemporary issues, including issues pertaining to embodied-enactive philosophy." — Shaun Gallagher, University of Memphis

"Stylistic fluency and both theoretical and historiographical thoroughness make this book quite important for the advancement of the current debate on human sensibility. The pragmatist point of view intersects with cognitive psychology and neuroscience, offering the map of a new philosophical anthropology that escapes inveterate dichotomies such as those of objective-subjective, natural-cultural, qualitative-quantitative, and cognitive-affective." — Rosa Calcaterra, Roma Tre University
