What's the Use of Calling Du Bois a Pragmatist?
Metaphilosophy 35 (1-2):99-114 (2004)
Abstract
Was W. E. B. Du Bois a pragmatist? Does it matter? This essay argues that reading Du Bois as a pragmatist highlights aspects of his work and life that might otherwise go unnoticed, while also highlighting aspects of pragmatism that often go unappreciated. In addition, this double revelation may help restore to us some important resources for dealing with current social problems.Author's Profile
