The New Pragmatist Sociology: Inquiry, Agency, and Democracy
“The New Pragmatist Sociology introduces readers to the long sociological tradition of pragmatism and shows how it can be harnessed effectively to address a wide range of empirical problems central to the discipline. The editors are widely considered among the leading voices in the pragmatist revival, and this volume illuminates a promising path for sociology to take.”
–Peter Bearman, author of Working for Respect: Community and Conflict at Walmart
