✦ Synopsis

In this book, Cheryl Misak develops and defends a Peircean conception of truth and a pragmatist moral epistemology. She then shows how a proper understanding of core epistemic concepts such as belief, truth, and inquiry commits us to a radically democratic and deliberative politics. Finally, she shows how her Peircean politics can respond forcefully to challenges from radical anti-democrats (such as Schmitt). This is by far the best book on pragmatism and democracy written in in the past twenty years. None of the recent work on Dewey's politics comes close. An absolutely essential read for anyone interested in democracy, deliberation, or pragmatism.
