Description
The Pragmatic Turn by Richard J. Bernstein This major new work by one of America's leading philosophers argues that many key themes in philosophy over the past 150 years are rooted in classical American pragmatism. Bernstein critiques traditional philosophical approaches, such as Cartesianism, and presents a compelling case for a pragmatic perspective that emphasizes social practice, self-correction, and continuity between theory and practice. Bernstein examines the influence of pragmatism on contemporary philosophers, including Hilary Putnam, Jürgen Habermas, Richard Rorty, and Robert Brandom. He explains why discussions of pragmatism remain vibrant and widespread, making this book an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the state of philosophy today. Through a wide-ranging analysis, Bernstein develops an alternative reading of contemporary philosophy that highlights the persistence and continuity of pragmatic themes.
