Description

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.
