This is a student's guide to the historical context, key thinkers
and central themes of pragmatism, a concept central to American
philosophy.The recent revival of interest in pragmatism has
reintroduced into mainstream philosophy the insights and arguments
of great American philosophers such as C.S. Peirce, William James
and John Dewey. But it has also led to the use of the term
'pragmatism' in a huge variety of contexts, such that students and
readers can find this fascinating subject confusing. "Pragmatism: A
Guide for the Perplexed" seeks to dispel some of the ambiguity
surrounding the term 'pragmatism'.The book offers a clear and
thorough account of this key philosophical movement. Thematically
structured, it lays out the historical development and surveys the
key thinkers. Crucially, it concentrates on the ways in which
pragmatists, both contemporary and historical, have attempted to
address some of the most important problems in philosophy. Geared
towards the specific requirements of students who need to reach a
sound understanding of pragmatism, the book serves as an ideal
companion to study of this most important and influential of
movements." Continuum's Guides for the Perplexed" are clear,
concise and accessible introductions to thinkers, writers and
subjects that students and readers can find especially challenging
- or indeed downright bewildering. Concentrating specifically on
what it is that makes the subject difficult to grasp, these books
explain and explore key themes and ideas, guiding the reader
towards a thorough understanding of demanding material.
