==Research==
Talisse's philosophical work tends to employ the idiom of pragmatism, though his recent writings seem aimed at criticizing much of that tradition. Talisse is especially keen to object to the political philosophies of John Dewey, Richard Rorty, and Richard Posner. Talisse's 2007 book, ''A Pragmatist Philosophy of Democracy'', is in large part a criticism of Deweyan Democracy.〔Talisse, Robert B. A Pragmatist Philosophy of Democracy, New York: Routledge, 2007〕 As Dewey is often regarded as the most important pragmatist philosopher, the book and related articles have stimulated several critical replies and a symposium issue of the leading journal in pragmatist philosophy, ''Transactions of the Charles S. Peirce Society''.〔(Transactions of the Charles S. Peirce Society ), volume 45, no. 1 (2009). See also Festenstein, Matthew, "Pragmatism, Inquiry, and Political Liberalism," Contemporary Political Theory volume 9, no. 1 (2010), pp. 25-44.〕 Talisse's contention is that Deweyan Democracy is incompatible with a due recognition of what John Rawls called "the fact of reasonable pluralism," which is the fact that several different views of the good life exist and persist among free persons. Deweyan Democracy, Talisse contends, is based on the idea that all social institutions should be designed to realize but one conception of the good life; Deweyan Democracy is consequently unfit as a model of modern democracy. In place of Deweyan Democracy, Talisse presents a view he allies with Charles Sanders Peirce according to which the epistemic processes of inquiry and reasoning supply sufficient grounds for democracy. Talisse's view is hence properly regarded as a species of deliberative democracy. In drawing on Peirce, Talisse is allied with Cheryl Misak of the University of Toronto, who argues for a similar view.〔Misak, Cheryl. Truth, Politics, and Morality (New York: Routledge, 2000)〕 Talisse and Misak are commonly discussed and criticized together, as proposing a single kind of view generally known as "Peircean Democracy."〔See Bacon, Michael, "The Politics of Truth: A Critique of Peircean Deliberative Democracy," Philosophy and Social Criticsm, vol 36, no 9 (2010): pp. 1075-1091〕 The view proposed by Talisse and Misak is also sometimes called "pragmatist political liberalism." Talisse is also known as a proponent of epistemic democracy, the view according to which part of the justification for democracy lies in its ability to produce collective decisions that are in some sense true or correct. He has also published several articles criticizing the value pluralism associated with Isaiah Berlin, William Galston, and John Gray; his 2012 book, ''Pluralism and Liberal Politics'' is devoted to these debates.
