Rezensionen

(Choice, 1 May 2013) Robert Schwartz asks us to rethink pragmatism and he is especially enlightening on how to rethink the pragmatism of James and Dewey. This book will be an essential part in what is becoming a deeply interesting movement to reinvigorate pragmatism.
"Summing Up: Highly recommended. Lower-division undergraduates and above."

-Cheryl Misak, University of Toronto
