व्यावहारिकतावाद

परिचय

The book contains eight lectures James gave at the Lowell Institute in Boston in late 1906 and at Columbia University in early 1907; it is dedicated to the memory of John Stuart Mill. James presents pragmatism first as a method for settling metaphysical disputes by asking what practical difference each answer makes, and then as a theory of truth: true ideas are those we can assimilate, validate and verify. He sorts philosophers by temperament into the “tender-minded” and the “tough-minded”. Russell and Moore objected that James confused truth with usefulness. Peirce had already renamed his own view “pragmaticism” in 1905 to keep it apart from such popular versions.
