The Bloomsbury Handbook of Pragmatism demonstrates the enduring relevance of philosophical pragmatism. Its focus is on pragmatism as a contemporary practice, not just a historical phenomenon. As such, it is an excellent resource for scholars and students, both those new to pragmatism and those who are currently working in the area. The chapters are well-written, informative, and insightful.

Bloomsbury Handbooks is a series of single-volume reference works which map the parameters of a discipline or sub-discipline and present the 'state-of-the-art' in terms of research. Each Handbook offers a systematic and structured range of specially commissioned essays reflecting on the history, methodologies, research methods, current debates and future of a particular field of research. Bloomsbury Handbooks provide researchers and graduate students with both cutting-edge perspectives on perennial questions and authoritative overviews of the history of research.
