The article discusses the book "Giant in Chains," by Barrows Dunham. The book develops a philosophy that is a personal version of Marxism. It deals with alternative theories incidentally, to discredit them. The book has a certain warmth, a surface reasonableness, a do-good atmosphere and it is written in simple journalese. Pragmatists are characterized as people who think philosophy is a technique for quick profits. Cultural relativism is wrong because, although there is obviously, a relativity of means, there is also in fact a community of ends. |
