THEME
Our course integrated Mather’s biblical historicist account of a Settler Colonial mindset,
indigenous moral criticism and religious spiritual pluralism, intersectional epistemology, inventor
and diplomacy stories of Franklin and Colden’s experimental empirical science, transformative
Women writers on the fundamental value of maintaining proper relations with others, a Relative
Self-conception, and interracial coexistence. Discuss the American philosophy you found most
interesting in Pratt’s (2002), Native Pragmatism and in the Feminist philosophers we read and
discussed in our class concerning the values of interaction, community, pluralism, growth,
experimental science. Do you think that Pratt’s new narrative reconstruction of the history of
American philosophy is constructive for an inclusive public discourse about the lifeworld value of
coexistence?
