N2  - In "Legal Pragmatism", Michael Sullivan looks closely at the place of the individual and community in democratic society. After mapping out a brief history of American legal thinking regarding rights, from communitarianism to liberalism, Sullivan gives a rich and nuanced account of how pragmatism worked to resolve conflicts of self-interest and community well-being. Sullivan's view of pragmatism provides a comprehensive framework for understanding democracy, as well as issues such as health care, education, gay marriage, and illegal immigration that will determine its character in the future. "Legal Pragmatism" is a bold, carefully argued book that presents a unique understanding of contemporary society, law, and politics; Índice:  Introduction; 1. What's Right with Rights and Wrong with Communitarianism?; 2. Taking Rights and Pragmatism Seriously; 3. Posner's Unpragmatic Pragmatism; 4. Toward a Reconstructive Pragmatism; 5. Reconstructing Judicial Review; 6. Pragmatism, Genealogy, and Democracy
