The only major philosophical school developed primarily in the USA\, pragmatism challenged all of the major philosophical systems that preceded it. By drawing lessons from the development of experimental science to build a general account of theory\, pragmatism brought philosophy deeper into the realm of human lived experience and into contact with the problems of everyday life. This session draws out the consequences of the reconstruction that Peirce\, Dewey\, and Mead performed upon the &lsquo\;abstractions&rsquo\; of previous philosophy.
Brendan Hogan (The New School for Social Research\, PhD) is Clinical Associate Professor in the Global Liberal Studies Program at New York University. He specializes in pragmatic philosophy\, philosophy of social science and political philosophy. In particular his work explores questions about the normative status of democracy and the relationship between imagination\, critique\, and human agency. His latest publications focus on the late pragmatist philosopher Hilary Putnam and the critique of the forms of economicrationality at the basis of certain models of mainstream economics. His articles have been published in a variety of venues including The Journal of Speculative Philosophy and the Graduate Faculty Philosophy Journal. Since 2015 he has taught the history of political philosophy and a course on the critique of capitalism from a normative perspective for NYU at their campus in London.
