Pragmatism and Law provides a textual reading of the American legal
discourse, as it unfolds through various genres of pragmatism,
which evolve and transform during the twentieth century. The
historical narrative, which the book weaves, traces the
transformation of the pragmatic idea from the forefront of
philosophical intellectual inquiries at the turn of the twentieth
century to a common sense lawyers' practical rule of action at the
turn of the twenty-first century. During this sequence, a fresh
look at American history and legal history in particular is offered
through the emphasis on recurring discursive structures which
assume incommensurable treatments of basic liberal notions like
justice, politics, and truth. Underlying the writing is an
interpretative mode of inquiry, based on European post-structural
methodologies, while claiming to represent their next intellectual
phase. This contemporary mode of inquiry is that of a reading which
insists on healing through the paradoxes. It is the same mode that
sets, in the author's view, the updated interpretative model of
dispute resolution studies.
