Pragmatism: A New Name for Some Old Ways of Thinking

This new release of the classic text Pragmatism is absolutely timely. James' seminal statement of pragmatism's underpinnings and its treatment of essential philosophical questions (the nature of truth; the one and the many; free will; etc.) could not come at a more appropriate time. In a "post-truth" era of fake news, alternative facts, and a belief that ""truth isn't truth,"" James' presentation of pragmatism as a method of adjudicating truth-claims is a must-read.
