In A Pragmatist Philosophy of Democracy , I launched a pragmatist critique of D eweyan democracy and a pragmatist defense of an alternative view of democracy, one based in C . S . P eirce's social epistemology. In this article, I develop a more precise version of the criticism of D eweyan democracy I proposed in A Pragmatist Philosophy of Democracy , and provide further details of the P eircean alternative. Along the way, some recent critics are addressed.
