Description
James Campbell explores the Pragmatists' contributions to American social
thought, drawing upon the writings of William James, John Dewey, George Herbert
Mead, James Hayden Tufts, and their various critics. He explores the Pragmatic
analysis of society's potential for ongoing intelligent inquiry and cooperative
evaluation to address social ills. Campbell also considers the nature of political
language, the relative importance of the moral and political values of liberty
and equality, and the vital role of commitment to the life of a democratic community.
