F. Thomas Burke believes that pragmatism, especially as it has been
employed in politics and social action, needs a reassessment. He
examines the philosophies of William James and Charles S. Peirce to
determine how certain maxims of pragmatism originated. Burke
contrasts pragmatism as a certain set of beliefs or actions with
pragmatism as simply a methodology. He unravels the complex history
of this philosophical tradition and discusses contemporary
conceptions of pragmatism found in current US political discourse
and explains what this quintessentially American philosophy means
today. -- Indiana University Press
