Menand’s book tells the story of the development of pragmatism, which is to philosophy what the western is to cinema and jazz is to music. Menand gives us a sense of how the American mind was reshaped at the turn of the 20th century… he does not want simply to tell the story of the emergence of pragmatism; he wants to make a case for its importance today.
The next meeting of the Nottingham Philosophy Club is on Tuesday 21st January starting at 7.30 pm – the location is: 107 Chalfont Drive, Nottingham NG8 3LS
