While these two schools have often been set at odds with one another, it is increasingly recognized that idealism and pragmatism share some important common ground, and that their respective histories have been intertwined. The contributions to this volume, by leading international scholars, put these debates in a new light by studying the interrelation across a range of thinkers and issues, including Kant, Schelling, Hegel, Royce, Renouvier and Collingwood on the one side, and Peirce, James, Dewey and Brandom on the other. This book was first published as a special issue of the British Journal for the History of Philosophy.
Robert Stern is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Sheffield, UK. With Christopher Hookway, he was director of the Leverhulme funded project on Idealism and Pragmatism out of which this collection arose. He has published on this issue in his Hegelian Metaphysics (2009).
