For the past fifteen years, Aikin and Talisse have been working
collaboratively on a new vision of American pragmatism, one which
sees pragmatism as a living and developing philosophical idiom that
originates in the work of the "classical" pragmatisms of Charles
Peirce, William James, and John Dewey, uninterruptedly develops
through the later 20th Century pragmatists (C. I. Lewis, Wilfrid
Sellars, Nelson Goodman, W. V. O. Quine), and continues through the
present day. According to Aikin and Talisse, pragmatism is
fundamentally a metaphilosophical proposal - a methodological
suggestion for carrying inquiry forward amidst ongoing deep
disagreement over the aims, limitations, and possibilities of
philosophy. This conception of pragmatism not only runs contrary to
the dominant self-understanding among cotemporary philosophers who
identify with the classical pragmatists, it also holds important
implications for pragmatist philosophy. In particular, Aikin and
Talisse show that their version of pragmatism involves distinctive
claims about epistemic justification, moral disagreement,
democratic citizenship, and the conduct of inquiry. The chapters
combine detailed engagements with the history and development of
pragmatism with original argumentation aimed at a philosophical
audience beyond pragmatism.
