The topic of history was not a principal theme of the classical
American Pragmatists, but in this book Marnie Binder presents the
case for a pragmatist philosophy of history, examining supporting
material from William James, John Dewey, F.C.S. Schiller, C.S.
Peirce, George Herbert Mead, and Jane Addams. While the thinkers
explored here have significant differences among themselves,
together they provide distinct contributions to a fuller picture of
what guides our selective memory and our present attention, and
they indicate how this is all maintained via confirmation in the
future. Philosophy needs history to help clarify meanings and
concepts; part of the methodology of pragmatism is derived from
history, as it is attested over time. History needs philosophy to
critically analyze historical data; pragmatic interests influence
how we study and record history. A Pragmatist Philosophy of
History, therefore, provides a rich context for a method that
brings the two disciplines together.
