Through a series of case studies, the book thoroughly investigates the pragmatic elements of “new pragmatism,” which inherits the legacy of classical pragmatism and combines the topics and methods of analytic philosophy.
By exploring the continuity and heterogeneity of these two trends of thought, the author aims to compare them from various perspectives of new pragmatists, such as W. V. Quine, Wilfrid Sellars, Hilary Putnam, Richard Rorty, Donald Davidson, Robert Brandom, John McDowell, Nelson Goodman, and others. Furthermore, he reveals that new pragmatism is not a closed trend; rather, it extends far beyond the context of analytic philosophy in both geographical and theoretical domains.
The book will appeal to students and scholars of pragmatism and analytic philosophy.
