"Pragmatism Ascendent" is the last of four volumes on the
contribution of pragmatism to American philosophy and Western
philosophy as a whole. It covers the period of American
philosophy's greatest influence worldwide, from the second half of
the 20th century through the beginning of the 21st. The book
provides an account of the way pragmatism reinterprets the
revolutionary contributions of Kant and Hegel, the significance of
pragmatism's original vision, and the expansion of classic
pragmatism to incorporate the strongest themes of Hegelian and
Darwinian sources. In the process, it addresses many topics either
scanted or not addressed at all in most overviews of the
pragmatism's relevance today.
Noting the conceptual stalemate, confusion, and inertia of much of
current Western philosophy, Margolis advances a new line of
inquiry. He considers a fresh conception of the human agent as a
hybrid artifact of enlanguaged culture, the decline of all forms of
cognitive privilege, the pragmatist sense of the practical adequacy
of philosophical solutions, and the possibilities for a
recuperative convergence of the best resources of Western
philosophy's most viable movements.
