The Routledge Companion to Pragmatism offers 44 cutting-edge chapters-written specifically for this volume by an international team of distinguished researchers-that assess the past, present, and future of pragmatism. Going beyond the exposition of canonical texts and figures, the collection presents pragmatism as a living philosophical idiom that continues to devise promising theses in contemporary debates. The chapters are organized into four major parts: Pragmatism's history and figures -Pragmatism and plural traditions -- Pragmatism's reach -- Pragmatism's relevanceEach chapter provides up-to-date research tools for philosophers, students, and others who wish to locate pragmatist options in their contemporary research fields. As a whole, the volume demonstrates that the vitality of pragmatism lies in its ability to build upon, and transcend, the ideas and arguments of its founders. When seen in its full diversity, pragmatism emerges as one of the most successful and influential philosophical movements in Western philosophy.

Une philosophie ne se résume pas seulement à une doctrine ou à une méthode : c'est aussi une attitude. Au-delà des thèses doctrinales, et au-delà même des règles de méthode, il faut savoir retrouver les dispositions intellectuelles et morales qui composent les grandes attitudes philosophiques. Ce livre voudrait en particulier prolonger la tradition des Lumières pour qui la philosophie est d'abord l'exercice d'une attitude spécifique, l'esprit critique, qui nous dispose à résister au dogmatisme. Il défend et illustre cette idée par l'examen détaillé de la philosophie pragmatiste, car les pragmatistes ont décelé dans l'histoire de la pensée et de la culture le conflit entre ces deux grandes tendances : l'attitude dogmatique et autoritaire, et l'attitude critique et expérimentale. Au-delà de leurs théories sur la vérité ou l'expérience, au-delà même de leurs méthodes d'analyse et d'enquête, la promotion et l'extension d'une manière de penser antidogmatique et anti­autoritaire dans tous les secteurs de la vie humaine – depuis la science jusqu'à la morale, la politique et la religion – sont leur projet le plus important et le plus digne d'être enseigné aujourd'hui.

This book has two main tasks: (1) to call attention to the special challenges presented by our experience of affect-all varieties of pleasure and pain-and (2) to show how these challenges can be overcome by an "enrichment approach" that understands affect as the enrichment or deterioration of conscious activity as a whole. This "enrichment approach" draws from Alfred North Whitehead as well as the pragmatists John Dewey and William James, all of whom thought of affect as a fundamental aspect of experience rather than a special class of feelings. It also draws from recent scientific research that suggests that the dynamic repertoire of consciousness can change, effectively expanding and contracting our capacity to feel. Weaving these perspectives together, the book develops a theory that accounts for the peculiar phenomenology of affect and sheds new light on a diverse range of experiences, from everyday pleasures and pains to the special satisfactions of the arts and religious festivity. At the same time, it presents a fresh and distinctively affect-centered perspective on the nature of consciousness.

This book explores communication in emergency call and response centers, taking an approach drawn from Conversation Analysis to examine how call-takers answer calls and the ways in which dispatch is issued in different contexts. It offers an original contribution to the study of the organization of emergency calls, the ways such calls are treated, and some of the practical problems that emerge when dealing with them. The author offers a systematic review of studies in the international field of the organization of emergency calls, while at the same time providing fresh case studies, illustrated with empirical materials, taken from audio- and video- recordings of the everyday activities of call and response centers. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of social interaction and may be appreciated by all scholars and practitioners working on the social management of emergency situations, including in fields such as Sociolinguistics and Pragmatics. Giolo Fele is Professor of Sociology of Culture and Communication at the University of Trento, Italy. His research focuses on video analysis of social interaction with an ethnomethodological approach, and he studies emergency management and communication between callers and public-safety answering points, wine and coffee tasting, and TV football commentaries.
