Chris Voparil’s Reconstructing Pragmatism builds the best case to date that the neopragmatist philosopher Richard Rorty decisively and productively reshaped the lineage of pragmatist philosophy. In developing new directions for pragmatism, the book seeks to press past a number of recent debates. One such debate concerns the relative priority of experience and language as methodological starting points for pragmatist philosophy. While Voparil seeks to abandon this debate as outworn, this review argues that the issue of pragmatism’s methodological apparatus cannot be easily set aside. Only by addressing head-on the disadvantages of experience-first pragmatism and language-first pragmatism can a next iteration of pragmatist philosophy properly develop a third methodological option, tantalizingly noted by Voparil, of a practice-first pragmatism.

“实用主义中的经验、语言和行为：对沃帕里尔重构实用主义的回应”

克里斯·沃帕里尔重建实用主义构建了迄今为止新实用主义哲学家理查德·罗蒂果断而富有成效地重塑实用主义哲学谱系的最佳案例。在为实用主义开辟新方向的过程中，这本书力图超越最近的一些争论。其中一场辩论涉及经验和语言作为实用主义哲学方法论起点的相对优先性。虽然 Voparil 试图放弃这场过时的辩论，但这篇评论认为实用主义的方法论装置问题不能轻易搁置一旁。只有直面体验优先实用主义和语言优先实用主义的缺点，实用主义哲学的下一次迭代才能适当地发展第三种方法论选择，沃帕里尔引人入胜地指出，实践优先实用主义。
