| Summary | "Pragmatism" by D. L. Murray is a philosophical treatise written in the early 20th century, exploring the principles of Pragmatism—a school of thought that emphasizes the practical implications and applications of ideas as a measure of their truth. The work delves into the philosophical questions surrounding knowledge, truth, and the relevance of thought in relation to human experience. In this book, Murray offers a critical evaluation of traditional philosophical approaches, such as formal logic and absolute truth, while advocating for a pragmatic understanding of knowledge that recognizes the influence of human experience and will. He addresses key dilemmas presented by dogmatism and the historical progression of philosophy, arguing against the limitations of intellectualism. The text is structured to guide readers through the evolution of Pragmatism, discussing its origins, key figures like William James, and practical applications in various fields such as science and religion, ultimately concluding that truth must be versatile and contextually grounded in human purposes and actions.
