The meaning of a proposition is found in the practical consequences of accepting it
Ideas should be practical and useful, and unpractical ideas should be rejected
Action is more important than doctrine, and experience is more important than fixed principles
Ideas are instruments and plans of action, and their meanings come from their consequences
Pragmatism is often contrasted with idealism, which is based on high principles or ideals. Pragmatism is based on real-world conditions and what can realistically be done.
The term "pragmatism" was first used in print in 1898 by William James in his address "Philosophical Conceptions and Practical Results". However, James claimed that his friend and compatriot C. S. Peirce coined the term almost 30 years earlier.
Notable proponents of pragmatism include Charles Sanders Peirce, William James, and John Dewey.
