Review Quotes: "Pragmatic naturalism has received considerable attention in recent years, and Sami Pihlstrom's most recent work is a strong addition to that literature: 1) it deepens his own ongoing transcendental approach to pragmatism and pragmatic naturalism in intriguing and forceful ways; 2) it engages extensively with relevant analytic literature, as well as sources in other traditions, thus expanding the reach of pragmatist considerations, and 3) it offers a range of conceptual and existential insights into fundamental questions of death, dying, and mortality.
