The Greater Philadelphia Philosophy Consortium is hosting a public forum on American Pragmatism and American Politics this Saturday at the Free Library on Logan Circle. The event is at 1:00 PM in the Montgomery Auditorium. I’m actually pretty excited about it, because three of the people other than John Dewey who are most responsible for my interest in pragmatism are going to be there: Robert Westbrook (who wrote John Dewey and American Democracy), Bruce Kuklick (who assigned me the aforementioned book in an intellectual history seminar in 1999) and James Kloppenberg (whose Uncertain Victory was one of the first comprehensive overviews of pragmatism and American social politics I read in my research). So if you’re in the area, come on down and philosophize.
