It was a great event yesterday, and I am very looking forward to Kuukkanen's talk "Pragmatism today" today. Also, look out for the book itself and our planned publication on it.
Yesterday, we held the workshop "Pragmatist Philosophy of History" with Jouni-Matti Kuukkanen. It was a lively discussion of the main issues of his forthcoming book "Doing, Knowing and Getting it Right". Look out for the book and a planned publication based on the workshop.
