PH 356 - Contemporary American Pragmatism


We engage primary texts in American Pragmatism that possess continuing relevance in the American Quest for understaning nature, society, and the self. Pragmatists, past and present, attempt to reconcile certain deep tensions, heightened with the birth of “Modernity”, between what can be broadly termed “matter” and “spirit”, the real and the ideal in a way inspiring and grounded in reality.
