Pragmatist Epistemologies contributes fresh insights from an international group of leading philosophers on the key question: how can we interrelate the processes and findings of the sciences with the felt qualities and needs of daily life? Through their shared emphasis on consequences, practice, and experience, these authors draw on the rich tradition of pragmatist thought to address contemporary issues about knowing, valuing, and choosing in clear and persuasive ways. This book will be valuable to scholars across intellectual traditions and disciplines, as well as to educated readers who hope and believe that philosophy can help us think more clearly about the problems of our lives and times.

A timely and engaging collection on one of the major recent movements in philosophy and social theory. Firmly embedded in historically grounded scholarship, but always with an eye on future inquiries, the essays of Pragmatist Epistemologies validate pragmatism as a truly living tradition of thought.
