Pragmatist thought is central to sociology. However, sociologists
typically encounter pragmatism indirectly, as a philosophy of
science or as an influence on canonical social scientists, rather
than as a vital source of theory, research questions, and
methodological reflection in sociology today. In The New Pragmatist
Sociology, Neil Gross, Isaac Ariail Reed, and Christopher Winship
assemble a range of sociologists to address essential ideas in the
field and their historical and theoretical connection to classical
pragmatism. The book examines questions of methodology, social
interaction, and politics across the broad themes of inquiry,
agency, and democracy. Essays engage widely and deeply with topics
that motivate both pragmatist philosophy and sociology, including
rationality, speech, truth, expertise, and methodological
pluralism. Contributors include Natalie Aviles, Karida Brown,
Daniel Cefai, Mazen Elfakhani, Luis Flores, Daniel Huebner, Cayce
C. Hughes, Paul Lichterman, John Levi Martin, Ann Mische, Vontrese
D. Pamphile, Jeffrey N. Parker, Susan Sibley, Daniel Silver, Mario
Small, Iddo Tavory, Stefan Timmermans, Luna White, and Joshua
Whitford.
