Pragmatism is a complex and contested tradition with diverse philosophical voices and conflicting points of view on many topics. This essay expounds ten basic themes that are fundamental to my conception of pragmatism and that are, for the most part, shared by major figures in the pragmatist tradition. These themes are not presented in their order of importance but in an order that seemed most conducive to a brief but coherent exposition of their meaning and scope. The themes are 1) the changing, open, and contingent nature of reality; 2) the primacy of human action, practice, and purpose in even our most cognitive pursuits and theoretical concepts; 3) a non-reductive, embodied naturalism; 4) an anti-Cartesian approach that rejects the quest for certainty and Cartesian dualism; 5) the necessity of community as a condition for the effective pursuit of knowledge and the realization of meaning; 6) an empirical orientation that recognizes the importance of experience and experimentation in cognition and in other areas of life; 7) a future-looking orientation; 8) a meliorist attitude toward theory and practice; 9) a holistic approach that emphasizes continuities rather than dualisms and that regards meaning and belief in terms of contextual wholes; 10) a pluralistic appreciation of diversity of practice, values, and meanings. |
