The Cambridge School of Pragmatism: 4 Volumes: Foundations of Pragmatism in American Thought

Cambridge pragmatism was recognisably 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. Not 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 organisation of the sets and volumes. This first set contains the only writings about Peirce, James, or other Cambridge pragmatists.
