About the Book
This volume
collects some of the very best recent work on pragmatism, the view that
philosophical theories must be connected to practical consequences, from
both self-styled pragmatists and from those whose positions merely have
affinities with pragmatism.
The essays, which cover both classical pragmatism and contemporary approaches,
focus on epistemology and moral/political philosophy.
