Pragmatism: A Guide for the Perplexed by Robert B Talisse

A student's guide to the historical context, key thinkers and central themes of pragmatism, a concept central to American philosophy. It focuses on the ways in which pragmatists, both contemporary and historical, have attempted to address some of the most important problems in philosophy.
"A strong series of guides, aimed at the student market looking for more than just a basic introduction and overview on the subjects addressedEach one is well written and contains enough information to get a student well-versed in the subjects at hand and form a strong basis for further study." - Publishing News, 2008
Mention -Book News, February 2009
"...this well-written, thought-provoking book may be recommended to anyone interested in pragmatism, especially students and general readers who may not yet be thoroughly acquainted with this philosophical tradition" - Sami Pihlström, Human Affairs
