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 important 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 have a sound understanding of
pragmatism, the book serves as an ideal companion to study of this
most important and influential of movements.
