«The Pragmatic Turn» is the philosophical essay by Richard J. Bernstein, published by Polity in paperback (300 pages, in English).
Bernstein argues that the key themes of modern philosophy are variations of the ideas of the pragmatists Peirce, James, Dewey and Mead. He analyzes their critique of Cartesianism and their commitment to social experience, self-correcting inquiry and the continuity of theory and practice, and traces that heritage in Wittgenstein, Heidegger and Rorty.
Work published in 2010. The volume includes chapters on Peirce, James, Dewey, Hegel, Putnam, Habermas and Rorty, as well as bibliographic references and indexes.
Academic work for philosophy students and readers interested in pragmatism and contemporary thought.
Richard Jacob Bernstein was an American philosopher who taught for many years at Haverford College and then at The New School for Social Research, where he was Vera List Professor of Philosophy. Bernstein wrote extensively about a broad array of issues and philosophical traditions including American pragmatism, neopragmatism, critical theory, deconstruction, social philosophy, political philosophy, and hermeneutics.
