ABSTRACT
In this book I have proposed a way of thinking about democratic politics
from a pragmatist but anti-Deweyan perspective, and I have argued that this
decidedly Peircean conception of democracy is superior to the Deweyan
view that dominates contemporary pragmatist political theory. To conclude,
I want to return to some of the issues I raised in the first chapter concerning
the career and recent fortunes of pragmatism.
