Disciplining the New Pragmatism is both a tribute and a corrective
to the neopragmatist perspective in American literary studies. It
sets out to give a detailed account of the contemporary
pragmatists' views, but it also goes beyond those views to tender a
new vision of the discipline of literary studies and to forge a new
rhetoric, largely crafted out of tropes borrowed from their
writings, which could be of service to literary scholars. Its
primary objective is to argue that, despite their claims to the
contrary, Richard Rorty, Walter Benn Michaels, Stanley Fish and the
other latter-day antifoundationalists and neopragmatists make a
difference to what is going on in the literature department.
Consequently, the author argues that the neopragmatist positition
may be made foar more effective and resonant than the
neopragmatists themselves recognise in their writings. To this end,
he offers his own category of a neosophistic pragmatism, which
serves as an example of what may result from bringing the New
Pragmatist insights into a sharper disciplinary focus.
