<br/><br/> The Metaphysical Club is an intellectual history of America in the second half of the 19th and early 20th centuries, focused on the development of pragmatism, and how certain thinkers—Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., William James, Charles Sanders Peirce, and John Dewey—emerged from, and responded to, their historical and cultural contexts.
