Special relationships

By John A. Ziegler

Subjects: Idealism, Realism, Modern Philosophy, German Americans, Fiction, Positivism, Philosophy

Description: "Since difficult ideas are best understood when they wear a human face, in these six stories the main characters personify several 'isms' the author has written and taught about during his academic career. These 'isms' include German-Americanism, idealism, positivism or realism, and experimentalism. Several 'special relationships' in the stories are based on the author's experiences over many years in the United Kingdom and in teaching the liberal arts."--Back cover.
