My view is that the prevailing philosophy is American pragmatism.

Dewey-style pragmatism? In the academy or in the population?

My concern is with academia, particularly philosophy departments. "Deconstructionism" seems to be the current fashion. My fear is that this will become the popular conventional wisdom in the years to come.

No doubt Allan Bloom's Closing of the American Mind gives a much better assessment of academia and students than I ever could.
