摘要：Although questionable for its style and method, irritating in its conclusions andjudgments, and political in the broad sense of the word, Carlin Romano’s book isa courageous work that fully belongs to the pragmatist tradition. It recalls the styleand the tone of some Italian pragmatists like Papini and Prezzolini, whose bookslacked perhaps some deep technical tools but were apt to shake the intellectual worldand substantially to the point in many critiques. As the Italian pragmatists for theirtime, Romano points out the pathological weakness of the mainstream professionalphilosophy and suggests his way out of a sterile fashion of understanding philosophy.This review will tackle his main polemical topic, signal some flaws, and offer adifferent way out from the situation that Romano indicates.
