<br/><br/> In 2003, administration & society published Patricia Shields's "The Community of Inquiry: Classical Pragmatism and public administration." Shortly thereafter, Huge Miller responded with "Old Pragmatism Needs and Upgrade" in the Disputatio Sine Fine section of Administration & Society. He argued that scholars like Shields, Evans, and Snider should incorporate the ideas of Richard Rorty into their scholarship, Miller's article was followed by a series 9 essays debating the merits of Dewey and Rorty for public administration. This article summarizes the debate and argues that Classical Pragmatism does not need an upgrade. -Reproduced.
