Pragmatism

"Pragmatism" by D. L. (David Leslie) Murray is a philosophical exploration of how we understand truth and knowledge, viewing them not as fixed ideas, but depending on how useful they are in real life. The text examines traditional ways of thinking versus a hands-on approach where ideas are judged by their practical results. Challenging older views, it proposes that what we know is shaped by our adventures and what we set out to do. The book guides readers through the beginnings of Pragmatism, highlighting important thinkers and showing how this concept plays out in areas from science to religion, suggesting finally that truth can change and should be based on what people do with their beliefs.
