Pragmatism is about being practical. Pragmatism is a philosophical tradition emphasizing the practical consequences and applications of beliefs and theories as central to their meaning and truth. Rooted in the ideas of Charles Sanders Peirce, William James, and John Dewey, pragmatism asserts that concepts and propositions should be evaluated based on their practical effects and how well they address problems. This approach rejects the notion of absolute truths, viewing knowledge as provisional and fallible, subject to change through experience and experimentation. The pragmatic maxim, introduced by Peirce, encapsulates this view by stating that the meaning of a concept lies in its observable, practical outcomes.
