Pragmatism
Pragmatism: An Introduction provides an account of the arguments of the central figures of the most important philosophical tradition in the American history of ideas, pragmatism. This wide-ranging and accessible study explores the work of the classical pragmatists Charles Sanders Peirce, William James and John Dewey, as well as more recent philosophers including Richard Rorty, Richard J.

Unless there is accountability, there is no guarantee of a better environment.

It also suggests ways to minister to persons devastated by bankruptcy. Sutherland probes the ethics of bankruptcy. He carefully studies general business ethics and biblical principles. Then he shows how they help clarify whether or not bankruptcy is ethical.
