Pragmatism and American Experience provides a lucid and elegant
introduction to America's defining philosophy. Joan Richardson
charts the nineteenth-century origins of pragmatist thought and its
development through the twentieth and twenty-first centuries,
focusing on the major first- and second-generation figures and how
their contributions continue to influence philosophical discourse
today. At the same time, Richardson casts pragmatism as the method
it was designed to be: a way of making ideas clear, examining
beliefs, and breaking old habits and reinforcing new and useful
ones in the interest of maintaining healthy communities through
ongoing conversation. Through this practice we come to perceive, as
William James did, that thinking is as natural as breathing, and
that the essential work of pragmatism is to open channels essential
to all experience.
