Hamington, M: The Social Philosophy of Jane Addams

"A good introduction ... that is organized thematically and easily accessible to readers unfamiliar with Addams's writings. . . . Recommended."--Choice "An invaluable schematic of the central philosophical concepts in Addams's work. The book will be a classic to which Addams readers will refer over and over, and it will have repercussions in the wider fields of American philosophy, American political theory, and American studies."--Ann K. Clark, professor of philosophy, Saint Mary's College "Hamington deftly and intelligently draws upon the range of available Addams scholarship--philosophical and non-philosophical--and also upon a relevant body of pragmatist and feminist literature. An approachable resource for readers who wish to understand Jane Addams as a philosopher."--Lisa Heldke, author of Exotic Appetites: Ruminations of a Food Adventurer
