This volume puts leading pragmatists in the philosophy of language,
including Robert Brandom, in contact with scholars concerned with
what pragmatism has come to mean for the law. Each contribution
uses the resources of pragmatism to tackle fundamental problems in
the philosophy of language, the philosophy of law, and social and
political philosophy. In many chapters, the version of pragmatism
deployed proves a fruitful approach to its subject matter; in
others, shortcomings of the specific brand of pragmatism are
revealed. The result is a clearer understanding of what pragmatism
has meant and can mean across these tightly related philosophical
areas. The book, then, is itself pragmatism in action: it seeks to
clarify its unifying concept by examining the practices that
centrally involve it.

Cross-disciplinary scientific collaboration is emerging as standard
operating procedure for many scholarly research enterprises. And
yet, the skill set needed for effective collaboration is neither
taught nor mentored. The goal of the Toolbox Dialogue Initiative is
to facilitate cross-disciplinary collaboration. This book, inspired
by this initiative, presents dialogue-based methods designed to
increase mutual understanding among collaborators so as to enhance
