A Companion to Pragmatism cover

A Companion to Pragmatism, comprised of 38 newly commissioned essays, provides comprehensive coverage of one of the most vibrant and exciting fields of philosophy today.

  • Unique in depth and coverage of classical figures and their philosophies as well as pragmatism as a living force in philosophy.
  • Chapters include discussions on philosophers such as John Dewey, Jürgen Habermas and Hilary Putnam.
  • <

“This is a strong collection showing the variation in the different lines of thought stemming from the Pragmatists.” (Metapsychology, May 2009)

"The essays, though assuming some acquaintance with the problems and history of philosophy, are clearly written and use a minimum of jargon. A brief but excellent introduction . . . and a good set of subject and name indexes complete the scholarly apparatus. Recommended."(Choice)
