Schiller (1864-1937) was the primary representative of the pragmatist movement in Europe for three decades. He was also a major figure in the personal idealism movement, and a proponent of incorporating evolution into philosophical thinking.
John R. Shook, provost and senior research fellow at the Center for Inquiry Transnational, is the author of pragmatism: An Annotated Bibliography, 1898-1940 and Dewey's Empirical Theory of knowledge and Reality. He is also the editor of pragmatic Naturalism and Realism, among other works. Hugh P. McDonald, assistant professor of philosophy at the CUNY New York City College of Technology, is the author of Radical Axiology: A First Philosophy of Values and John Dewey and Environmental Ethics.
