Cultivated during a\npostwar era of industrial change and economic growth, pragmatism emerged in the\nlate nineteenth century as the new shape of American intellectual identity.\nCharles Peirce, William James, and Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. were close\nfriends who founded different branches of pragmatism while writing on a vast\narray of topics. Skeptical about philosophy, William James’s brother, Henry,\nstood at the margins of this group, crafting his own version of pragmatism through\nhis novels and short stories. Gregory Phipps argues that James’s fiction weaves\ntogether the varied depictions of individuality, society, experience, and truth\nfound in the works of Peirce, Holmes, and William James. By doing so, James\nbrings to narrative life a defining moment in American intellectual and\nmaterial history.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-06-06\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781137594471\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/978-1-137-59023-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 261\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44753142251660,"sku":"9781137594471","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781137594471.jpg?v=1775963110","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781137594471","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
