Pragmatism is a philosophy that positions that which has practical value above all else. For the pragmatist, if one cannot derive immediate utility from something, it is not useful.
Pragmatism focused on the practical consequences of ideas, emphasizing experience, experimentation, and results over abstract theory. It believed that the truth of an idea could be measured by its effectiveness in real-life situations and its ability to solve problems. This philosophy valued action, flexibility, and adaptation in response to changing circumstances.
