In this book, leading scholars of pragmatism not only from the Nordic countries but also from Central Europe and the United States and Canada offer pragmatist perspectives on a wide variety of issues, ranging from epistemology and the philosophy of science to political philosophy and the philosophy of religion. The diversity of the essays reflects the richness of contemporary pragmatism scholarship, and demonstrates the viability of this philosophical approach, as well as the depth of the philosophical problems that pragmatists have been concerned with.
