Some hundred years after its inception, Pragmatism has reclaimed
centre stage, not just within philosophy, but also within
intellectual culture as a whole. This book sets out to explain what
it is about Pragmatism that makes it such a distinctively
attractive prospect to so many thinkers, even in previously hostile
traditions. Alan Malachowski sets out in a clear and accessible
manner the original guiding thoughts behind the Pragmatist approach
to philosophy and examines how these thoughts have faired in the
hands of those largely responsible for the present revival (Putnam
and Rorty). The Pragmatism that emerges from this exploration of
its "classic" and "new wave" forms is then assessed in terms of
both its philosophical potential and its wider cultural
contribution. Readers will emerge from the book with a more secure
grip on what Pragmatism involves and a correspondingly clearer
grasp of what it has to offer and what its current resurgence is
all about.
