Kantianism and Pragmatism: A Response to Margolis

  • University of Massachusetts Boston

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

In this piece I respond to Joseph Margolis' article "The Future of Pragmatism's Second Life." I make two arguments. First, I argue that Margolis misinterprets the true contest between Kantianism and Pragmatism, and that his vision of Pragmatism's second life is overly Kantian. Second, I question his conclusion that truths about our agential norms can only ever be 'second best'.
