Description and Table of Contents

Description

Cambridge pragmatism was recognizably different from the instrumentalism of Dewey's Chicago school. Until James's death in 1910, commentators on pragmatism typically either wrote about James's pragmatism or Dewey's instrumentalism, but not both. Only until the 1910s did many philosophers begin to treat pragmatism as a fairly unified set of doctrines. This change in standpoint is reflected in the organization of the sets and volumes. This first set only contains writings about Peirce, James, or other Cambridge pragmatists. Writings on pragmatism in general, which began to make more frequent appearance after 1910, will be collected in another set, "Critical Studies on Pragmatism".
