This collection represents the rediscovery of Josiah Royce’s rich legacy that has occurred over the past decade.
The first part presents a series of historical explorations. The second takes up practical extensions of Royce’s work, bringing his ideas and methods to bear on contemporary philosophical matters. Among the topics addressed are the paradoxes of individualism; loyalty, democracy, and community; Royce’s efforts to respond to historical American racism; his contributions to engaged inter-faith religious discourse; the promise of his theory of error for a feminist account of knowledge; and his ethics of loyalty as a component in medical ethics.
"This is a very important collection of essays, written by a number of talented scholars that span the generations of contemporary American philosophy. It sheds new light on the importance of Josiah Royce's works and provides useful points of departure for the future study of Royce's writings." -- -John Kaag University of Massachusetts Lowell "'The Relevance of Royce' is a valuable contribution to contemporary Royce scholarship. Scholars working in the field of classical American philosophy must consult this rich source. -- David Rodick, Xavier University -American Journal of Theology and Philosophy "This is a thoughtful, balanced collection of new essays on Royce that demonstrates his ongoing value to contemporary philosophers." -- -Shannon Sullivan Penn State University
