“This is a splendid collection of articles about the major figures of the pragmatic tradition that also exhibits the vitality and diversity of this living tradition. Essential reading for anyone interested in the rich history, lively present debates, and promising future of pragmatic themes.”
Richard J. Bernstein, New School for Social Research
“Unusually for an encyclopedic account, A Companion to Pragmatism is not afraid to adopt a particular interpretive approach. The introduction draws challenging conclusions about the relative importance of Peirce, James, and Dewey, but both the major figures covered and the themes developed in the book expand far beyond this original triumvirate and demonstrate the vitality and expansiveness of pragmatist philosophy.”
Charlene Haddock Seigfried, Purdue University
"The essays, though assuming some acquaintance with the problems and history of philosophy, are clearly written and use a minimum of jargon. A brief but excellent introduction . . . and a good set of subject and name indexes complete the scholarly apparatus. Recommended."

By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: A Companion to Pragmatism (Blackwell Companions to Philosophy) (Hardcover)
Carefully covering an enormous territory using a diverse array of high quality scholars, Shook and Margolis' Companion to Pragmatism brings together well established and respected scholars. Together, the entries cover classical and contemporary figures as well as a useful array of movements and topics. Readers, students, and scholars in philosophy--be they inclined toward "analytic" or "continental" or whatever other orientation--should feel comfortable placing high confidence in this book. It is well edited, well written, and judiciously arranged. A true companion. Librarians, especially, should stock this book.
