Description
The Practical Turn: Pragmatism in Britain in the Long Twentieth Century By Cheryl J. Misak and Huw Price Published by the British Academy in 2017 This book explores the significant influence of American pragmatism on British philosophy, tracing its development from the inter-war period to recent times. The authors argue that pragmatist ideas had a profound impact on British thought, shaping the work of prominent philosophers such as Wittgenstein, Ramsey, Anscombe, and Simon Blackburn. The book examines the reception of pragmatist ideas in Britain, challenging the common view that they were met with hostility. Instead, the authors demonstrate that pragmatism provided a new framework for addressing fundamental philosophical questions, leading to innovative and influential thinking in the field.
