Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI just gave a conference paper on how pragmatism is misread. To claim that James is offering a pernicious subjectivism is just to misread james. I'll glare but not object to him being called "sloppy," but only if one assumes contemporary academic standards ... exactly the audience he didn't write for. If he had, he would have been a nobody.
Misak has a tense relationship with the neoclassicals. They appreciate someone so high-profile going to bat for pragmatism, but her reading of Peirce and pragmatism is ... "under-appreciated" by the neoclassicals.
wasn't endorsing the paper just making it available...
