This captivating book delves into the profound impact of American pragmatism on the development of social philosophy in 20th-century Europe. The first part of the book showcases the profound influence of influential thinkers such as Peirce, James, and Dewey on the traditions of European philosophy, particularly existentialism and the Frankfurt School of Critical Theory, which emerged during this transformative era. Through a series of insightful essays, the authors illustrate how these ideas shaped the philosophical landscape, offering fresh perspectives and ideas that continue to resonate today.

The second part of the volume takes on a more contemporary focus, addressing current challenges in social philosophy. Here, the authors demonstrate how discussions of two core issues central to social philosophy—the conception of social conflict and the public—can be enriched and revitalized through the lens of pragmatism. By presenting both historical and conceptual perspectives, these essays provide a comprehensive and holistic picture of pragmatism's role in shaping Continental social philosophy.

This book appeals to scholars and advanced students engaged in the study of American philosophy, social philosophy, and Continental philosophy. It offers a valuable resource for those seeking to deepen their understanding of the interplay between pragmatism and social thought, shedding light on the enduring legacy of this philosophical movement.
