Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a critical examination of the philosophical school of pragmatism which gained prominence in the United States in the early 20th century. The author takes a skeptical stance toward pragmatism, arguing that its basic tenets are fundamentally flawed. The author begins by providing a brief overview of pragmatism's origins in the writings of William James and others, and then goes on to examine its key principles. He argues that pragmatism is ultimately a form of subjectivism because it defines truth in terms of individual experience and practical consequences. This, the author believes, leads to a dangerous and corrosive relativism that jeopardizes the possibility of objective truth and knowledge. The author also contends that pragmatism's emphasis on the practical consequences of belief leads to a dangerous form of moral relativism. If truth is defined in terms of what is useful or expedient, then there is no objective standard by which to judge moral actions. This, the author believes, has serious implications for the health of society and the integrity of the individual. In conclusion, this book offers a searching critique of pragmatism. The author argues that pragmatism's basic tenets are fundamentally flawed and that its widespread acceptance has had negative consequences for both intellectual and moral life.
