Book Description
The Routledge Companion to Pragmatism offers 44 cutting-edge chapters―written specifically for this volume by an international team of distinguished researchers―that assess the past, present, and future of pragmatism. Going beyond the exposition of canonical texts and figures, the collection presents pragmatism as a living philosophical idiom that continues to devise promising theses in contemporary debates. The chapters are organized into four major parts:Pragmatism’s history and figuresPragmatism and plural traditionsPragmatism’s reachPragmatism’s relevanceEach chapter provides up-to-date research tools for philosophers, students, and others who wish to locate pragmatist options in their contemporary research fields. As a whole, the volume demonstrates that the vitality of pragmatism lies in its ability to build upon, and transcend, the ideas and arguments of its founders. When seen in its full diversity, pragmatism emerges as one of the most successful and influential philosophical movements in Western philosophy.
