“…Dewey’s pragmatism offers a more robust methodology than that found in Rousseau. The process of Dewey’s pragmatism is structured upon a delicate understanding of the relationship between means and ends, which is a discussion about the method by which we justify our desired end state of affairs and the process by which we reach that state of affairs (Waks 1999; Livingston 2017; Visalberghi 1953; Lekan 1998; Damico 1978). Waks, in particular, recognises the importance of means and ends within Dewey’s work.…”

This paper suggests that Jean-Jacques Rousseau, John Dewey, and Paulo Freire each engage in philosophical projects that seek to employ the practice of philosophy as a means to the development of the person and as a political and educational method of philosophy that aims to discover and answer the problems of cooperative associations. The paper argues that the philosophical projects of Rousseau, Dewey, and Freire are intimately related in approach, scope, and intent. Furthermore, it argues that by reading Rousseau, Dewey, and Freire in conversation with one another, their philosophical projects can be effectively employed in an inquiry into citizenship and citizenship education and accordingly as the foundation for a fruitful philosophical methodology that is both political and educational.

“…To those in charge, the idea of 'Stormen' conveyed a symbolic meaning, signifying a forward-looking, progressive policy, and hence demonstrating an ability to translate visions into practice. However, it must be emphasized too, in accordance with a pragmatic way of thinking (see Visalberghi 1953), that the idea originated out of an experience with something already available, i.e., a needed improvement in the form of a library and venue for cultural events. 'Stormen' as an end or a vision maintained a continuity to the present situation in the sense that the initiators expected the project would be an enrichment combining a library and a concert hall.…”

The paper elaborates on the contingency of leadership, referring to specific circumstances that require deliberate interventions, while challenging efforts to implement concerted action. This applies particularly when issues are at stake. The paper suggests that the notion of trajectory, which lies at the heart of the pragmatist Anselm Strauss’ interactionist theory of action, merits further consideration. Empirically, the paper draws on experiences from a case study of an innovative project consisting of the building of premises for a library and a concert hall, called ‘Stormen’, in Bodø municipality, located in Northern Norway. Several controversial issues bore on the process. Although the municipal leadership managed to bring the project to a successful conclusion, trajectory management was rather demanding. The paper should consequently serve the analytical purpose well of discussing how and why contingencies, anticipated as well as unanticipated, challenge the performance of leadership.
