I was thinking of Dewey, who started out as a Hegelian. Also Schiller. (FCS), the Englsih prag, influenced by British Hegelianism). Quinean neopragmatism takes off from Neurath, the Marxist log pos; Quine uses Neurath's boat as the epigraph for Word and Object. Wilfrid Sellars credits his basic insights to reading Engels in the 30s.

Yeah, there always is. Read Menard on the prags yet? Good book. When I have more to say on this, I'll post it.
