Thomas Burke believes that pragmatism, especially as it has been employed in politics and social action, needs a reassessment. He examines the philosophies of William James and Charles S. Peirce to determine how certain maxims of pragmatism originated. Burke contrasts pragmatism as a certain set of beliefs or actions with pragmatism as simply a methodology. He unravels the complex history of this philosophical tradition and discusses contemporary conceptions of pragmatism found in current US political discourse and explains what this quintessentially American philosophy means today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Indiana University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47596762792087,"sku":"9780253009586","price":2948.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780253009586.webp?v=1774995036","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/what-pragmatism-was-9780253009586","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
