Sin & Reality "Pragmatism as Anti-Authoritarianism"

"I see the pragmatists’ account of truth, and more generally their anti-representationalist account of belief, as a protest against the idea that human beings must humble themselves before something non-human, whether the Will of God or the Intrinsic Nature of Reality. So I shall begin by developing an analogy which I think was central to John Dewey’s thought: the analogy between ceasing to believe in Sin and ceasing to believe that Reality has an intrinsic nature."
