Pragmatism: A Reader
Here are the major texts of American pragmatism, from William James, John Dewey, Oliver Wendell Holmes, and Charles Sanders Peirce to Cornell West, Richard Rorty, Hilary Putnam, Richard Posner, and Richard Poirier, now collected and reprinted unabridged. All are remarkable for the wit and vigor of their prose and the mind-clearing force of their ideas. They reflect the vital role that pragmatism has played in almost every area of American intellectual and cultural life, inspiring judges, educators, politicians, poets, and social prophets.

@Dhruvpolitics @ObjStdInstitute I’m guessing you’d really enjoy one of my favorite books, “The Metaphysical Club” by Louis Menand. It’s a history of Pragmatism. Menand himself is an admirer of Pragmatism, which of course I’m not, but he’s objective about it & his book is beautifully written—a fascinating read!

Louis Menand's _The Metaphysical Club_ was a good book. There's probably an essay to write connecting his love of American pragmatism to the poor quality of his criticism. He doesn't seem to care about big questions. His review of Montas's superb book is a case in point.

He kept his blood stained uniform in his closet all his life. Louis Menand's book on pragmatism covers this well, as I'm sure OWHJr bios must. https://t.co/ip1RWCM3tX
