Description

In this critique of pragmatism and neopragmatism, an historian traces the attempts of thinkers from William James to Richard Rorty to find a response to the crisis of modernism.

John Patrick Diggins analyzes the limitations of pragmatism from a historical perspective and asks whether America's one original contribution to the world of philosophy has actually fulfilled its promise.
