"I believe that education is the fundamental method of social progress and reform. All reforms which rest simply upon the law, or the threatening of certain penalties, or upon changes in mechanical or outward arrangements, are transitory and futile.... But through education society can formulate its own purposes, can organize its own means and resources, and thus shape itself with definiteness and economy in the direction in which it wishes to move.... Education thus conceived marks the most perfect and intimate union of science and art conceivable in human experience."
--John Dewey, My Pedagogic Creed, 1897

  • Contemporary Pragmatism is a new interdisciplinary, international journal (inaugurated in June 2004) for discussions of applying pragmatism, broadly understood, to today’s issues. This journal will consider articles about pragmatism written from the standpoint of any tradition and perspective, but it will concentrate on original explorations of pragmatism and pragmatism’s relations with humanism, naturalism, and analytic philosophy. The journal welcomes both pragmatism-inspired research and criticisms of pragmatism. CP encourages interdisciplinary efforts, establishing bridges between pragmatic philosophy and, for example, theology, psychology, pedagogy, sociology, medicine, economics, political science, or international relations.
