In the account I am offering (not endorsing), pragmatism, whether of the paleo or neo varieties, stands for a progressively more emphatic rejection of Enlightenment dualisms such as subject and object, mind and body, perception and reality, form and substance; these dualisms being regarded as the props of a conservative social, political, and legal order.

DEFINE: Defines pragmatism as the rejection of dualisms like subject/object, mind/body — clearly flagging this is the author's offered account, not endorsed.
