Inhaltsangabe
Explore how pragmatism reshapes truth, reality, and knowledge through experiment and purpose. This insightful study examines the differences between pragmatist and scholastic views, showing how experience, methods, and human goals shape what we call true.
In accessible terms, the book surveys how humanism treats experience as active and purposive. It explains how truth can be seen as a value placed on successful experimentation, and how our hypotheses may be practical approximations rather than absolute certainties. It also contrasts sense-based knowledge with higher, abstract understanding, and discusses how both play roles in how we think about reality.
- Learn how experience becomes a form of experiment, with truth judged by usefulness and outcomes.
- See how pragmatism handles questions of reality, knowledge, and the role of human purposes.
- Understand the tension between concrete sense data and abstract intellect in shaping our beliefs.
- Discover how the book frames metaphysical questions through a pragmatic lens and how this affects the idea of truth.
Ideal for readers of philosophy who want a clear overview of pragmatist ideas, humanism, and their critique of traditional metaphysics.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the philosophical movement known as Pragmatism, which emerged as a response to the dominant Idealism of the 19th century. The author offers a comprehensive critique of Pragmatism's central tenets, arguing that it rests on a flawed understanding of the human mind and its relationship to reality. The author examines the work of key Pragmatist thinkers, including William James, John Dewey, Josiah Royce, and F.H. Bradley, exploring their theories of truth, knowledge, and the nature of the self. Through detailed analysis, the book reveals the inconsistencies and limitations of their approach, highlighting the dangers of a system that prioritizes practical success over moral principles. The book argues that Pragmatism ultimately undermines the very foundations of human morality and social order, presenting a worldview that privileges personal gain and expediency over universal truths and shared values. By meticulously dissecting the philosophical underpinnings of Pragmatism, the author reveals the inherent flaws in its core assumptions, ultimately offering a compelling argument for a more robust and ethically grounded understanding of the human experience.
