”To the editors’s credit, they produced a volume that applies pragmatism (and doesn’t just talk about it). By compiling essays across several disciplines, this is a nice statement to philosophers in particular to be less academically insulated and isolated, even pragmatist philosophers. A virtue of the book, then, is to take the pragmatist ethos seriously and apply it, to show the value and fecundity of pragmatism across academic and non-academic concerns.” in: Contemporary Pragmatism, Vol. 1, No. 2 (December 2004)
