The Evolution Of Pragmatism In India By Scott R. Stroud

The Evolution Of Pragmatism In India By Scott R. Stroud

Product Description:

The story of how the Indian reformer Bhimrao Ambedkar reimagined John Dewey's pragmatism.

In The Evolution of Pragmatism in India, Scott R. Stroud delivers a comprehensive exploration of the influence of John Dewey's pragmatism on Bhimrao Ambedkar, the architect of the Republic of India's constitution. Stroud traces Ambedkar's development in Dewey's Columbia University classes in 1913-1916 through his final years in 1950s India when he rewrote the story of Buddhism.

Stroud examines pragmatism's influence not only on the philosophical ideas underpinning Ambedkar's fight against caste oppression but also on how his persuasive techniques drew on pragmatism's commitment to reconstruction and meliorism. At the same time, Stroud is careful to point out the ways that Ambedkar pushed back against Dewey's paradigm and developed his approach to challenges in India. The result is a nuanced study of one of the most important figures in Indian history.
