University of Pittsburgh philosophy professor Robert Brandom:
“I want to start going back and looking at the roots of American pragmatism in the German Idealist tradition. I think developments over the last four decades have secured Immanuel Kant’s status as being for contemporary philosophers what the sea was for the poet Swinburne: ‘the great grey mother of us all.’ And Kant mattered as much for the classical American Pragmatists as he does for us today.”
