Features: In the context of contemporary philosophical trends, American philosophy undoubtedly holds significant influence. This book conducts a tracking research on the current state and development trends of contemporary American philosophy from seven aspects: analytic philosophy, new pragmatism, realism, philosophy of mind, epistemology, moral and political philosophy, and American Marxist philosophy. It aims to grasp the main fields and new theoretical development lines, delving into cutting-edge theoretical issues such as "the new pragmatism turn in American philosophy," "the revival of naturalism," "Gettier's problem and the conditions of knowledge," "the challenge of communitarianism and the liberal response," and "the Marxist context in post-industrialization." The book effectively meets the needs of domestic academia to systematically examine and study contemporary American philosophy, serving as an excellent work with precise analysis, accurate grasp, clear logic, and rich references.
