Media Reviews

This is a strong collection showing the variation in the different lines of thought stemming from the Pragmatists. (Metapsychology, May 2009) The essays, though assuming some acquaintance with the problems and history of philosophy, are clearly written and use a minimum of jargon. A brief but excellent introduction ... and a good set of subject and name indexes complete the scholarly apparatus. Recommended. (Choice)
