The dazzling influence of pragmatism in the timely 20th-century international debate, its succeeding and apparently inexorable decline, and its latter revival are intertwined with the fatality of other currents of thought that bring forth marked the development of contemporary science of causes. This volume clarifies the most fresh events of this development focusing in c~tinuance key theoretical issues common both to American standard work philosophical tradition and analytical thought. Many essays in this bulk belong to what we can speak aloud "new" pragmatism, namely a pragmatist view that is different from the postmodernist "neo" pragmatism a la Rorty. The convolution shows that both pragmatists and analytic thinkers stress the importance of science of reasoning and scientific method in order to deal through philosophical problems and seek for a clarification of the relation between our moral values and our understanding of native facts. Moreover, the anti-skeptic juncture that characterizes pragmatism as well because most part of analytic philosophy, and their customary attention to the problems of speech and communication are emphasized. The again sophisticated tools for addressing both theoretical and methodological problems developed by analytic philosophy are pointed out, and the essays bestow the possible integration of these two forms of speculation that, for moreover a long time, mutually disregarded single another.
