Cornelis de Waal studies American pragmatism, a philosophical tradition emphasizing that the meaning and truth of ideas are tied to their practical consequences. Much of the work focuses on the philosopher Charles Sanders Peirce, along with related thinkers such as Richard Rorty, Josiah Royce, and George Herbert Mead, and includes book-length introductions, edited-work reviews, and studies connecting pragmatism to ethics, religion, and the broader aims of philosophy.
