Pragmatism

I just bought
Pragmatism: A Reader by Louis Menand. I've gotten interested in pragmatism as a possible way to do philosophy while avoiding the metaphysical nonsense I could never get into. It's also a plus that so many legal thinkers call themselves neopragmatists. I'm hoping I'll find it interesting enough to want to do some serious work on it in the future, perhaps when and if I get a PhD. The first few essays are pretty interesting...In addition, I have some love for pragmatists since this blog takes its name from Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., one of the founding figures.
