Pragmatist Democracy's particular innovation lies in bringing its titular philosophical approach to bear on organizational theory. Ansell has done an impressive job, and this work should be indispensable for anyone interested in the concrete political implications of pragmatism... Each chapter of the book is richly detailed, and its wealth of information, distinctions and claims compel repeated reading... Pragmatist Democracy is an impressive achievement, simultaneously showing pragmatists a vision of their values in action and presenting social scientists with a reconstructed conceptual toolkit for understanding political institutions.
