This book makes the case for a pragmatist approach to the practice
of social inquiry and knowledge production. Through diverse
examples from multiple disciplines, contributors explore the power
of pragmatism to inform a practice of inquiry that is democratic,
community-centred, problem-oriented and experimental. Drawing from
both classical and neo-pragmatist perspectives, the book advances a
pragmatist sensibility in which truth and knowledge are contingent
rather than universal, made rather than found, provisional rather
than dogmatic, subject to continuous experimentation rather than
ultimate proof, and verified in their application in action rather
than in the accuracy of their representation of an antecedent
reality. The Power of Pragmatism offers a path forward for
mobilizing the practice of inquiry and knowledge production on
behalf of achieving what Dewey called a sense for the better kind
of life to be led. -- .
