Pragmatism has had two separate careers: one with its originators from the end of the nineteenth century to the early years of the twentieth century and one sparked by Richard Rorty’s neo-pragmatism from the late twentieth century to the present. My suggestion in this essay is that it is time to attend to the death of pragmatism so that new philosophical outlooks might develop from its intermixing with other ideas. The suggestion stems from Peirce’s organic way of considering how an intellectual movement such as pragmatism evolves in an historical setting.
