© 1999 SAGE Publications Comment: The Private and Its Problems-Pragmatism, Pragmatist Feminism, and HomophobiaUniversity of Chicago The pragmatist revival of recent decades has in some respects obscured the radicalemancipatory potential of Deweyan pragmatism. The author suggests thatneopragmatists such as Richard Rorty have too often failed to grasp the ways inwhich Dewey's notion of social intelligence was bound up with the case for participatorydemocracy, and that recent efforts to bring out the potential of pragmatismfor supporting certain forms of feminist and gay critical theory make fora more compelling reconstruction of pragmatism.
