古典实用主义尽管公认关注自由和民主问题，但很少直接谈论权力问题。一些评论家发现杜威的习惯概念是解决权力问题的资源，而另一些评论家则认为实用主义并没有提供足够重要的工具来挑战系统性压迫。还有一些人建议通过使用后结构主义中发现的资源，特别是福柯著作中的资源来支撑实用主义。本文从这一建议开始，但认为虽然福柯提供了一个有用的起点，但他的权力概念失败了——至少在以多元化经历为特征的美国背景下是这样。然后我认为，通过玛丽·P·福莱特（Mary P. Follett，1868-1933）的著作，实用主义传统拥有理论资源来产生一种始于多元主义经验的权力概念。
Classical pragmatism, despite its recognized concern for questions of freedom and democracy, has little to say directly about questions of power. Some commentators have found Dewey’s notion of habit to be a resource for taking up issues of power while others have argued that pragmatism does not provide a sufficiently critical tool to challenge systematic oppression. Still others have proposed to shore up pragmatism by using resources found in post-structuralism, particularly in the work of Foucault. This paper begins with this suggestion, but argues that while Foucault offers a useful starting point his conception of power fails—at least in an American context characterized by the experience of pluralism. I then argue that the pragmatist tradition, through the work of Mary P. Follett (1868-1933) has the theoretical resources to generate a conception of power that begins with the experience of pluralism.
