Cheryl Misak's Cambridge Pragmatism is a key work for anyone who seeks to gain a deeper understanding of twentieth-century philosophy * Cornelis de Waal, Journal of the History of Philosophy * Cambridge Pragmatism is a significant and much needed text, one that contributes to a new standard story of 20th century philosophy. For those of us raised on some version of the old standard story-and there are lots of us out there-it's an important opportunity not just to reconsider the history of pragmatism and early analytic philosophy, but to reassess our own histories as well. * John Capps, Journal for the History of Analytic Philosophy *
