Sinopsis
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.

Excerpt from Pragmatism and the Problem of the Idea
The present volume is the result of studies carried on for some years in an endeavor to show that the most recent Theory of Philosophy known as Pragmatism rests upon an erroneous philosophical basis.
That the ground-work of Pragmatism is a false conception of the idea was fully illustrated by the author in a course of lectures delivered at the Catholic Summer School of America during the Session of 1902. This course is summed up in the chapter of the present work entitled Absolute Pragmatism. A critical analysis of the works published by the leading exponents of Pragmatism has fully confirmed the judgment of the writer.
The plausibility of the arguments advanced, and the fact that in the last analysis God in the Christian sense of the term is excluded from human thought and life make their theory especially dangerous.
The proof that Pragmatism is fundamentally false is based on data taken from the writings of Professor Royce and the late Professor James of Harvard, Professor Dewey of Columbia, Professor Schiller of Oxford and Professor Bergson of the College of France, who are recognized as the leaders of the new philosophy.

Paperback. Condición: 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. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
