We daily classify actions by their morality and their
voluntariness, and beliefs by their rationality. But in light of
persistent skepticism about morality, free will, and (to a lesser
extent) epistemology, we must ask what justifies us in making these
various claims. This book defends a sophisticated version of
pragmatism, resting on a novel account of strategy-based (as
opposed to act-based) cooperative rationality. It will show that we
can give a genuinely pragmatist account of morality and
epistemology, while denying that truth is mere usefulness and
maintaining the connection between truth and objectivity. The
sophisticated pragmatist approach is shown to be particularly
fruitful in that we can justify a range of important practices,
including our practices of moral and epistemic evaluation, as well
as our practice of making judgments regarding free will and moral
responsibility.
