Joas holds open the possibility of transcendence, in a era which clings to a binary opposition of science and religion. One way he dovetails such concerns is an examination of values. He for examples discusses a child's developing values by focusing on the child putting himself in the roles of others; Joas mentions other family members, as well as dogs and cats, which can play a part in this growth, (The Timeliness of George Herbert Mead, 2016). Whether Joas has succeeded in making a case American pragmatism is a good basis on which to reconnect people to a dimension of self-transcendence is still an open question.

November 27, 1948
Hans Joas (November 27, 1948) has a central role in the contemporary assessment of the western humanities. This professor of sociology suggests a core human development can restore some of the common ground of religion and science. He currently holds posts at the University of Chicago and is Ernst Troeltsch Professor for the Sociology of Religion at Humboldt University of Berlin. His distinguished contributions are particularly welcome at a time when the values of the humanities has been called into question.
