This book examines the interdisciplinary foundations of pragmatism
from a literary perspective, tracing the characters and settings
that populate the narratives of pragmatist thought in Henry James's
work. Cultivated during a postwar era of industrial change and
economic growth, pragmatism emerged in the late nineteenth century
as the new shape of American intellectual identity. Charles Peirce,
William James, and Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. were close friends
who founded different branches of pragmatism while writing on a
vast array of topics. Skeptical about philosophy, William James's
brother, Henry, stood at the margins of this group, crafting his
own version of pragmatism through his novels and short stories.
Gregory Phipps argues that James's fiction weaves together the
varied depictions of individuality, society, experience, and truth
found in the works of Peirce, Holmes, and William James. By doing
so, James brings to narrative life a defining moment in American
intellectual and material history.
