Summary:Annotation Frisina (philosophy and religious studies, Hofstra U.) argues that knowledge and action are in reality one thing, and that acceptance of this concept will lead to a better theory of knowledge and our understanding of the self. In support, he draws from the works of the 16th-century Neo-Confucian Wang Yang- min, the American pragmatist John Dewey, and the process philosopher Alfred North Whitehead. The concepts of contemporary philosophers like Charles Taylor, Donald Davidson, Richard Rorty, Daniel Dennett, Mark Johnson, George Lakoff, and Robert Neville are also considered.
