Pragmatic Genuine Philosophy
Pragmatism is a philosophy that emphasizes experience and context. It could be lacking a clear set of fundamental principles or a coherent ethical framework. This can lead to an absence of idealistic goals or a radical change.
In contrast to deflationary theories, pragmatic theories do not renounce the notion that statements are connected to actual events. They only clarify the role that truth plays in practical endeavors.
Definition
The term "pragmatic" is used to describe things or people that are practical, logical and sensible. It is frequently used to distinguish between idealistic which is an idea or person that is based on high principles or ideals. A pragmatic person looks at the real world situations and circumstances when making decisions, focusing on what is realistically accomplished rather than trying to achieve the best theoretical course of action.
Pragmatism, a brand new philosophical movement, stresses the importance that practical implications are crucial in determining the significance, truth or value. It is an alternative to the dominant analytical and continental traditions. Founded by Charles Sanders Peirce and William James with Josiah Royce as its founding fathers, pragmatism grew into two streams of thought one of which is akin to relativism and the second toward realist thought.
The nature of truth is a central issue in pragmatism. While a majority of pragmatists agree that truth is an important concept, they are not sure how to define it and how it functions in the real world. One approach, heavily influenced by Peirce & James, focuses on how people solve problems & make assertions, and focuses on the speech-acts and justification projects people use to determine the truth of an assertion. One approach, influenced Rorty's followers,

The primary flaw in this neo-pragmatic view of truth is that it flirts with relativism, since the notion of "truth" has such a long and long-standing history that it appears unlikely that it can be reduced to the nebulous purposes that pragmatists give it. The second problem is that pragmatism seems to be a method that does not believe in the existence of truth, at a minimum in its metaphysical and fundamental form. This is evident in the fact that pragmatists like Brandom who owe a lot to Peirce & James, are largely in silence about metaphysics, while Dewey has only made one reference to truth in his numerous writings.
Purpose
The aim of pragmatism is to offer an alternative to the analytic and Continental styles of philosophy. Its first generation was initiated by Charles Sanders Peirce and William James together alongside their Harvard colleague Josiah Royce (1855-1916). The classical pragmatists were adamant about the concept of meaning and inquiry, as well as the nature of truth. Their influence spread through many influential American thinkers like John Dewey (1859-1952), who applied their concepts to education as well as other aspects of social development, and Jane Addams (1860-1935) who founded social work.
More recently a new generation of philosophers have given pragmatism a wider platform for debate. Many of these neopragmatists are not classical pragmatists but they are part of the same tradition. Robert Brandom is their main model. His work is centered on semantics and the philosophy of language, but also draws from the philosophy of Peirce, James, and others.
Neopragmatists have a distinct conception of what it takes for an idea to be true. The classical pragmatists focused on a concept called 'truth-functionality,' which states that an idea is genuinely true if it is useful in practice. The neo-pragmatists instead focus on the idea of 'ideal warranted assertion, which states that an idea is true if a claim about it is justified in a certain way to a specific group of people.
This view is not without its flaws. It is often accused of being used to support illogical and silly concepts. A simple example is the gremlin theory that is a truly useful concept, and it is effective in the real world, but it is utterly unfounded and probably absurd. It's not a major problem, but it does highlight one of the biggest flaws in pragmatism that it can be used to justify almost anything, and this is the case for many ridiculous ideas.
Significance
Pragmatic refers to the practical aspect of a decision, which is related to the consideration of actual world conditions and situations when making decisions. It may also refer to the philosophical view that stresses practical implications in the determining of truth, meaning or value. William James (1842-1910) first used the term pragmatism to describe this viewpoint in a speech he delivered at the University of California, Berkeley. James confidently claimed that the term was invented by his friend and

The pragmatists resisted the stark dichotomies that are inherent in analytic philosophy such as truth and value,

James used these themes to explore truth in religion. A subsequent generation applied the pragmatist view of education, politics, and other facets of social development under the great influence of John Dewey (1859-1952).
The neo-pragmatists of recent decades have attempted to put pragmatism into an overall Western philosophical context, by tracing the affinities of Peirce's theories with Kant and other 19th century idealists and the emerging science of evolutionary theory. They also sought to understand the role of truth in an original a priori epistemology and develop a pragmatic Metaphilosophy that includes theories of language, meaning, and the nature and origin of knowledge.
Despite this the pragmatism that it has developed continues to evolve and the a posteriori method that it developed remains distinct from the traditional approaches. The pragmatic theory has been criticised for a long time, but in recent years it has received more attention. This includes the notion that pragmatism simply implodes when applied to moral questions and its assertion that "what works" is little more than relativism, albeit with an unpolished appearance.
Methods
Peirce's epistemological approach included a pragmatic explanation. He saw it as a method of destroying false metaphysical notions like the Catholic notion of transubstantiation Cartesian certainty-seeking strategies in epistemology and Kant's concept of a 'thing-inself' (Simson 2010).
The Pragmatic Maxim, according to many modern pragmatists, is considered to be the most reliable thing one can hope for from a theory about truth. They tend to steer clear of deflationist theories of truth that need to be verified in order to be deemed valid. They advocate a different approach they call "pragmatic explanation". This is the process of explaining the way in which a concept is utilized in practice and identifying the conditions that must be met to determine whether the concept is truthful.
It should be noted that this approach could be viewed as a type of relativism, and is often criticised for it. But it is less extreme than the deflationist alternatives, and therefore is a good method of overcoming some of the problems with relativist theories of truth.
