Review: Pragmatism: The Classic Writings (Part 1) edited by H. S. Thayer

Nature and the Nation

In this episode I look at John Dewey's overview of the early history of pragmatism as described in Pragmatism: The Classic Writings edited by H. S. Thayer. I examine the major themes of pragmatism, including the importance of consequences, human conduct, the vaguery of ends, and the approximateness of knowledge.
