American pragmatism can be best understood against the
background of 20th-century American culture and politics. The
essays in this volume, by philosophers, cultural critics, and
historians, explore the development of pragmatism in this context.
The emphasis in this volume is on the interrelations between the
philosophical or foundational issues raised by pragmatism as a
philosophical movement, and the cultural, political, and
educational programs that have been associated with pragmatism from
James, Dewey, and Mead to Rorty and Cornel West. The book is
divided into three parts, reflecting the periods of Progressivism,
Positivism, and Postmodernism. The contributors explore the ways in
which pragmatist writings have been appropriated or misappropriated
in the literature and practice of Progressive reformers, positivist
academics, end-of-ideology liberals, and postmodernists.
