"The present work represents a significant contribution to Marxist philosophy in the United States. Marxists have taught, written and fought against pragmatism for many years but here, for the first time, is a full-length exposition and criticism of this philosophy in its historical development, its basis premises and conclusions, its social-political role, and its impact on every phase of American life and thought." from Howard Selsam's Introduction.
