In this important new work, Rick Tilman takes another look at the political thought of Thorstein Veblen, John Dewey, and C. Wright Mills. Although these thinkers disagreed on a number of points, Tilman shows how Veblen, Dewey, and Mills forged an authentic, coherent, and original tradition of critical social science in the United States. By comparing their views on a number of timely issues such as aesthetics, feminism, and gambling, the author shows how their tradition is vibrantly relevant in the new millenium. Ground-breaking and enlightening, Thorstein Veblen, John Dewey, C. Wright Mills and the Generic Ends of Life is essential reading for all interested in philosophy, politics, economics, or social thought.
