- Title
Pragmatism, Logic, and Law.
- Authors
Vannatta, Seth
- Abstract
But Kellogg's book is about three topics: pragmatism, law, and logic. While the legal positivists hold a dominant view of the law as "separate, exogenous, autonomous, acting upon society rather than within it", the pragmatists, including John Dewey and Holmes, viewed law as social phenomenon, boundaryless, endogenous, and embedded. Kellogg's chapter on pragmatism and neopragmatism does an excellent job of exposing the debates between Rorty's linguistic pragmatism and Dewey's experience-based pragmatism, explaining the disparate origins of pragmatism and Continental anti-foundationalism, and why investigating neopragmatism's entry into legal theory is a better way to sort out the debate between the two pragmatisms.
