I managed to get sucked into a discussion of pragmatism as it’s understood politically vs. how it’s understood philosophically. There are some things I want some time to chew on, especially regarding the political weakness of Dewey’s pragmatism. But it’s a pretty good discussion as it stands.

Born and raised in Philadelphia. Studied philosophy at Fordham University in the Bronx, where I made many great friends and met my wonderful wife. We moved back to Philadelphia, where I studied philosophy some more and became a teacher. Online and off, I'm looking for ways that we can be better citizens and build stronger communities.
