There are some, like Kitcher, who view today's analytic philosophy as mired in narrowly focused, technical disputes of little interest to the wider world. What is the future of philosophy, and what would it look like? These essays try to install the pragmatic spirit into contemporary philosophy, renewing James and Dewey for our own times.  aDescription based on online resource; title from PDF title page (viewed on Oct. 31, 2012).  aIncludes index. 0aPragmatism.08iPrint versionz9780199899555403Oxford scholarship onlineuhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780199899555.001.0001  c37009d37009
