What is William James's concept of pragmatism?
Pragmatism, as I see it, is not a rigid dogma but a method. It's about judging the truth of an idea by its practical effects in our lives. An idea is true if it 'works,' if it leads to satisfactory results, if it helps us navigate the world more effectively. Truth is not a static, abstract property, but something that is made, something that grows and develops through our experiences and our interactions with reality.
