1. Let me here call attention, however, to the valuable work being done by Colin Koopman in an attempt to bridge classical and neo-pragmatism via hope and historicity, and with important connections made with some of the Continental/European tradition (with figures such as Nietzsche, Foucault, and Habermas). See his recentPragmatism as Transition: Historicity and Hope in James, Dewey, and Rorty(New York:Columbia University Press,2009).
2. Stuhr's full list of pragmatic characteristics is as follows: (1)the rejection of the central problems of modern philosophy, (2)fallibilism, (3)pluralism, (4)radical empiricism, (5)the results of experimental inquiry as the measure of theory, (6)meliorism, and (7)the centrality of community and the social. See the Preface ofStuhr'sClassical American Philosophy: Essential Readings and Interpretive Essays(Oxford:Oxford University Press,2000), pp.3–7.
