Abstract

kenneth w. stikkers Southern Illinois University Carbondale despite the fact that pr agmatism spawned a whole school of eco- nomics, namely, Institutionalism, relatively little work has been done by pragmatists in philosophy to apply pragmatism to contemporary economic issues or to the rethinking of economic theory, which seems to be unravel- ing in the current state of economic crisis. There are notable exceptions, of course, and I mention here especially the work of Judith Green, in applying pragmatism in the furtherance of economic democracy; Larry Hickman’s fine essays in deepening our understanding of the pragmatist sources of Institu- tionalist thinkers such as Thorstein Veblen (e.g., Hickman, “John Dewey”); and Ron Nahser, a marketing executive who also wrote and published his philosophy PhD dissertation on pragmatism, Learning to Read the Signs. Most of such work, however, has been coming from outside philosophy, and I think here especially of the work of the distinguished Professor of Business Administration Rogene Buchholz, a longtime friend of SAAP, much of it in collaboration with former SAAP president, Sandra Rosenthal, and also our distinguished Coss lecturer today, attending SAAP for the first time, Profes- sor Daniel Bromley.
