I wouldn't normally list this, but since folks write me to ask when the projected book would appear, I should say that I have largely abandoned my plans for Pragmatist Confrontations: Heidegger, Dewey, and the Primacy of Practice. The book was just not coming together as I had hoped. “What Dewey and Heidegger,” etc., presents some of the main ideas of the book project, and I may work up a second or third article on the themes.
