"The Pragmatism Reader" is the essential anthology of this
important philosophical movement. Each selection featured here is a
key writing by a leading pragmatist thinker, and represents a
distinctively pragmatist approach to a core philosophical problem.
The collection includes work by pragmatism's founders, Charles
Peirce, William James, and John Dewey, as well as seminal writings
by mid-twentieth-century pragmatists such as Sidney Hook, C. I.
Lewis, Nelson Goodman, Rudolf Carnap, Wilfrid Sellars, and W.V.O.
Quine. This reader also includes the most important work in
contemporary pragmatism by philosophers like Susan Haack, Cornel
West, Hilary Putnam, Richard Rorty, Cheryl Misak, and Robert
Brandom. Each selection is a stand-alone piece--not an excerpt or
book chapter--and each is presented fully unabridged.
"The Pragmatism Reader" challenges the notion that pragmatism
fell into a midcentury decline and was dormant until the advent of
"neopragmatism" in the 1980s. This comprehensive anthology reveals
a rich and highly influential tradition running unbroken through
twentieth-century philosophy and continuing today. It shows how
American pragmatist philosophers have contributed to leading
philosophical debates about truth, meaning, knowledge, experience,
belief, existence, justification, and freedom. Covers pragmatist
philosophy from its origins to today Features key writings by the
leading pragmatist thinkers Demonstrates the continuity and
enduring influence of pragmatism Challenges prevailing notions
about pragmatism Includes only stand-alone pieces, completely
unabridged Reflects the full range of pragmatist themes, arguments,
concerns, and commitments
