Description

"Pragmatism" is a philosophical work by William James, first published in 1907, based on a series of lectures he delivered. The book introduces and elaborates on the pragmatist philosophy, a uniquely American contribution to philosophical thought. James defines pragmatism as a method and a theory of truth. He argues that the meaning of any concept lies in its practical effects and consequences, and that truth should be tested by the practical consequences of belief.
