Prophetic pragmatism is a powerful approach to questions of ultimate concern.
I applaud Milligan for proposing an ideal of inclusion whose epistemology emphasizes attunement to the voice of others. Warren Nord challenges pluralist liberals to be more inclusive of religious possibility in the school. The guiding idea in Nord's plea rests upon free market metaphors. Milligan characterizes Cornel West's prophetic pragmatism as addressing several shortcomings found in other forms of pragmatism. By embracing a progressive Marxism it overcomes deficiencies in pragmatism's analysis of political and economic forces.
