Abstract | In his recent historical-philosophical offering, "The Enormous Flywheel of Society: Pragmatism's Habitual Conception of Action and Social Theory," Finnish scholar Erkki Kilpinen explores the historical development of pragmatism as a philosophy and describes its varying influence on the development of the social sciences in the United States. Simultaneously, he compares and contrasts its tenets with those of classical European sociology. Kilpinen's text provides fuel for an interest in pragmatism, sociological perspectives, and their implications for music education that has been growing recently among some music education scholars. In this article, the author describes key aspects of Charles Sanders Peirce's original philosophy, briefly addresses Kilpinen's account of pragmatism and its manifestations in the thinking of social scientists, and, finally, points to some ways in which he thinks pragmatism and Kilpinen's illumination of its history might be especially relevant for music educators to consider at present.
