Contemporary Pragmatism in Public Administration

Exploring the Limitations of the "Third Productive Reply"

University of Missouri-Columbia

Adrian Carr

University of Western Sydney, Nepean

In this article, the authors present some of the limitations of contemporary pragmatism. Although the authors are sympathetic in many respects to the community-building aspirations of pragmatism, they also contend that in certain important respects—specifically with regard to process, experience, and imagination—contemporary pragmatism leaves some troubling gaps that limit or undermine its ability to address what they argue are important contemporary political problems.
