Pragmatist Epistemologies

Pragmatist Epistemologies unites new trends in the study of knowledge inspired by the pragmatist tradition. Edited by Robert Frega, this collection of articles from leading American and European scholars engages contemporary issues such as evolutionary epistemology, realism, and the foundation of ethics, as well as exploring pragmatist epistemologies from a historical perspective. In the best pragmatist tradition, the essays present the wide scope of epistemology, from the dimension of belief to the dimension of observation and ranging from theoretical epistemology to practical and moral epistemology. In assembling this volume, Frega opens a new avenue of research in contemporary pragmatism that is continuous with the main figures of the pragmatist tradition while acknowledging the necessity of strengthening this dialogue with contemporary trends in philosophy. Students and scholars of American philosophy and students in the social sciences will gain greatly from this exploration and synthesis of new and old ideas in pragmatist epistemology.
