Schraube and Højholt’s edited Psychology and the conduct of everyday life asserts that the conduct of everyday includes research from several authors who all explore the primacy of researching human actions in the contradictory and intersubjective contexts of everyday human life. In this review essay, we discuss the degree to which this work expresses another form of pragmatism as conceived by Rorty. This discussion involves three themes: hostility to disengaged theorizing, subjectivity, and critical antiestablishment ethos. We propose that the book potentially extends pragmatism by specifically undoing the private–public dichotomy that pragmatism runs the risk of enabling.
