Pragmatic Epistemology

Pragmatic epistemology is a way of understanding knowledge that emphasizes its practical usefulness and real-world application. Instead of focusing solely on whether beliefs are absolutely true in an abstract sense, it considers whether they work effectively in actual situations. Knowledge is seen as valuable if it helps us navigate, predict, and achieve goals in our lives. This approach bridges philosophy and everyday problem-solving, highlighting that the truth of ideas depends on their success and usefulness in practice, rather than just abstract correctness.
