What is pragmatism?
Pragmatism is a philosophical tradition that originated in the United States around 1870.
For pragmatism, an idea is true if and only if it is useful or if it works well in the real world, while the meaning of a proposition is found in the practical consequences of accepting it.
Recently, there has been a resurgence of interest in pragmatism, with several high-profile philosophers exploring and appropriating its ideas. The best-known and most controversial of these so-called “neo-pragmatists” is Richard Rorty (1931-2007).
