About the Book

Some hundred years after its inception, Pragmatism has reclaimed centre stage, not just within philosophy, but also within intellectual culture as a whole. This book sets out to explain what it is about Pragmatism that makes it such a distinctively attractive prospect to so many thinkers, even in previously hostile traditions. Alan Malachowski sets out in a clear and accessible manner the original guiding thoughts behind the Pragmatist approach to philosophy and examines how these thoughts have faired in the hands of those largely responsible for the present revival (Putnam and Rorty). The Pragmatism that emerges from this exploration of its "classic" and "new wave" forms is then assessed in terms of both its philosophical potential and its wider cultural contribution. Readers will emerge from the book with a more secure grip on what Pragmatism involves and a correspondingly clearer grasp of what it has to offer and what its current resurgence is all about.

Review :
"A clear, accessible and well-structured introduction to the subject, which shows Malachowski to be one of Rorty's most careful, perceptive, judicious and insightful readers. Like the best pragmatists, the author shows a commendable ability to link pragmatism provocatively and imaginatively to a wide variety of non-philosophical concerns. He is the Huxley of pragmatism: Rorty's bulldog." - Stephen Mullan, Queen's University Belfast "Alan Malachowski's The New Pragmatism is an extremely thorough, engaging and readable introduction to a seemingly complex development in western philosophy. It will be valuable to those seeking clarity on the work of Rorty, Putnam, and their intellectual milieu." - Emma Bell, University of Brighton "A lucid account of the New Pragmatism, its relationship to classical American pragmatism and postmodernism, and its implications for literature, feminism, law, education, politics, and religion. It will serve as a useful introduction to this important philosophical movement as well as an essential guide to the latest scholarship for experts in the field." - Carol Nicholson, Rider University, New Jersey
