Paperback. Etat : 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.
