The Power of Pragmatism: Knowledge Production and Social Inquiry Hardcover - 2020
by Jane Wills (Editor); Robert Lake (Editor)
From the rear cover
This book advances a pragmatist sensibility for social inquiry in which truth and knowledge are contingent rather than universal, made rather than found, provisional rather than dogmatic, subject to continuous experimentation rather than ultimate proof, and verified through their application in action rather than in the accuracy of their representation of an antecedent reality.
The contributors explore the power of pragmatist approaches to inform a practice of social inquiry and knowledge production that is problem-oriented, community-centred, democratic and experimental. The Power of Pragmatism offers a way to address contemporary challenges and mobilise the practice of inquiry and knowledge production to discern what John Dewey referred to as "a sense for the better kind of life to be led."Details
