Great job. I personally find that the tradition of pragmatism is well linked to the continental philosophy of phenomenology especially that of Merleau-Ponty (on whom I did my thesis). It is not a set of doctrines with grand theory of everything, nor is it postmodern "relativism." It is a method of knowing through learning and acting in the world with others. Therefore it is neither right nor wrong, absolute nor relativist. I say it is "relational" and thus critical and transmodern which speaks to some of the comments below. (I also think that adding Addams was a neat touch. Dewey and Addams were mentors to each other.)
