The Pragmatist Reader

The Pragmatist Reader is a collection that introduces readers to pragmatism, a philosophical approach that emphasizes the practical consequences of ideas and beliefs. It includes key writings from influential pragmatist thinkers like William James, John Dewey, and Charles Sanders Peirce. Their works explore how ideas should be evaluated based on their effectiveness in real-world applications, rather than abstract principles. Pragmatism focuses on problem-solving and the evolving nature of truth, offering a flexible framework for understanding knowledge and experience in everyday life. This collection serves as a foundational guide to understanding these ideas and their relevance today.
