Since C. S. Pierce advocated a pragmatic approach to truth and
knowledge, it has been one of the characteristic themes of American
philosophy. This book examines how pragmatism's central ideas can
be applied and implemented across the entire domain of
philosophical deliberations, ranging from theory of knowledge and
the value theory to providing explanations for human actions, and
even to matters of ethics and religion. While there are various
ways in which to weigh the merit of a philosophical idea or theory,
this book makes the case that an assessment of that theory s
applicative utility is of the essence. The intersection of the
theoretical and the practical is where meaningful philosophizing
finds its legs, and Rescher s unique pragmatically oriented
analyses of traditional philosophical us to regard some
historically prominent philosophical ideas in a new and revealing
light."
