NEW FROM DUKE
The Revival
of Pragmatism
New Essays on Social Thought,
Law, and Culture
Morris Dickstein, editor
Although long considered the most
distinctive American contribution to
philosophy, pragmatism-with its
problem-solving emphasis and its con–
tingent view of truth-lost popularity
in mid-century after the advent of
World War II, the horror of the
Holocaust, and the dawning of the
Cold War. Since the I960s, however,
pragmatism in many guises has again
gained prominence, finding congenial
places to flourish within growing
intellectual movements. This volume
of new essays brings together leading
philosophers, historians, legal scholars,
social thinkers, and literary critics to
examine the far-reaching effects of
this revival.
