Indeed, the main arc that Cheryl Misak traces - from Kant, through Peirce and Lewis, and then on to W. V. Quine and into wider philosophical orthodoxy - deserves to become widely known.
S.E. Forschler, CHOICE This book deserves to become a new standard for understanding the history of philosophical pragmatism; no other work covers such a diverse range of essential pragmatists together in such a short space, accurately and thoughtfully placing them in context with one another and with tradition as a whole ... Essential.
