ISBN: 9780199279982 出版年：2007 页码：204 Clarendon Press

Pragmatism is the view that our philosophical concepts must be connected to our practices - philosophy must stay connected to first-order inquiry, to real examples, to real-life expertise. The classical pragmatists, Charles Sanders Peirce, William James, and John Dewey, put forward views of truth, rationality, and morality that they took to be connected to, and good for, our practices of inquiry and deliberation. In this volume, some of our very best contemporary philosophers explore this and develop the pragmatist project, showing that pragmatism is a strong current in philosophy today.
