Pragmatic Genuine Philosophy
Pragmatism is a philosophical system that is based on experience and context. It could be lacking a clear set of fundamental principles or an encapsulated ethical framework. This could result in the loss of idealistic goals and a shift in direction.
Contrary to deflationary theories pragmatic theories do not renounce the notion that statements are correlated to actual events. They simply elucidate the roles that truth plays in practical activities.
Definition
The word pragmatic is used to refer to people or things that are practical, logical and sensible. It is frequently used to contrast with idealistic which is an idea or person that is based upon high principles or ideals. A person who is pragmatic considers the actual world circumstances and conditions when making decisions, focusing on what can be realistically achieved as opposed to seeking to determine the most optimal possible outcome.
Pragmatism is a new philosophical movement that focuses on the importance of practical implications in determining the meaning, truth or value. It is a third alternative philosophy in contrast to the dominant continental and analytical traditions. Founded by Charles Sanders Peirce, William James, and Josiah Royce, pragmatism developed into two competing streams of thought, one that tended towards relativism, the other toward realist thought.
One of the most important problems in pragmatism is the nature of truth. Many pragmatists recognize that truth is a valuable concept, but disagree on the definition or how it functions in the actual world. One approach, influenced heavily by Peirce and James, focuses on how people solve problems & make assertions, and focuses on the speech-acts and justification projects that language-users use in determining if something is true. Another approach that is inspired by Rorty and his followers,

The main flaw of this neo-pragmatic view of truth is that it flirts with relativism, as the notion of "truth" has been around for so long and has such a extensive history that it is unlikely that it can be reduced to the nebulous applications that pragmatists assign it. In addition, pragmatism seems to dismiss the existence of truth in its metaphysical aspect. This is evident by the fact that pragmatists, like Brandom, who owes much to Peirce and James and are mostly silent about metaphysics while Dewey has only made one reference to truth in his numerous writings.
Purpose
The aim of pragmatism is to provide a different perspective to the analytic and Continental styles of philosophy. Charles Sanders Peirce, William James and their Harvard colleague Josiah Royce (1860-1916) were the first to introduce it's first generation. These classical pragmatists focused on the theory of inquiry, meaning and the nature of truth. Their influence spread to a number influential American thinkers, such as John Dewey (1860-1952), who applied their ideas to education and

Recently a new generation of philosophers have given pragmatism more space to discuss. Many of these neopragmatists not traditional pragmatists, but they believe that they belong to the same tradition. Robert Brandom is their main persona. His work is centered on semantics and the philosophy of language but also draws inspiration from the philosophy of Peirce, James, and others.
Neopragmatists have an entirely different 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. Neo-pragmatists focus on the idea of 'ideal warranted assertibility which states that an idea is genuinely true if the claim made about it can be justified in a certain way to a specific audience.
This view is not without its problems. It is often accused of being used to support unfounded and absurd ideas. A simple example is the gremlin idea it is a useful idea, it works in the real world, but it is utterly unfounded and probably nonsense. This is not a major issue, but it reveals one of the main flaws of pragmatism: it can be used as a rationalization for just about everything.
Significance
When making a decision, it is important to be pragmatic by taking into account the real world and its circumstances. It is also used to describe a philosophical position that emphasizes the practical implications when determining meaning, truth or values. The term"pragmatism" first used to describe this view around a century ago when William James (1842-1910) pressed it into service in an address at the University of California (Berkeley). James swore he coined the term along with his mentor and friend Charles Sanders Peirce, but the pragmatist viewpoint soon gained its own reputation.
The pragmatists rejected the sharp dichotomies of analytic philosophy like mind and body, thought and experience and analytic and synthesthetic. They also rejected the idea that truth was something that was fixed or objective, and instead viewed it as a continuously evolving socially-determined concept.
Classical pragmatists were focused on theorizing inquiry, meaning and the nature of truth but James put these concepts to work in examining truth in religion. A second generation shifted the pragmatist approach to politics, education and

The neo-pragmatists of recent decades have tried to put pragmatism into an overall Western philosophical context, and have traced the affinities of Peirce's theories with Kant and other idealists of the 19th century as well as the new science of evolutionary theory. They have also attempted to understand the role of truth in a traditional a posteriori epistemology, and to develop a pragmatic metaphilosophy which includes a view of language, meaning and the nature of knowledge.
Yet, pragmatism continues to evolve and the epistemology of a posteriori that it developed is still regarded as an important distinction from traditional methods. The defenders of pragmatism have had to grapple with a number of objections that are as old as the pragmatic theory itself, but which have gained more attention in recent years. These include the idea that pragmatism simply implodes when it comes to moral issues and its assertion that "what works" is little more than relativism, albeit with an unpolished appearance.
Methods
For Peirce, pragmatic elucidation of truth was a crucial element of his epistemological plan. He saw it as an attempt to debunk false metaphysical ideas, such as the Catholic understanding of transubstantiation, and Cartesian certainty searching strategies in epistemology.
For many contemporary pragmatists the Pragmatic Maxim is all that one can reasonably expect from the theory of truth. They are generally opposed to the deflationist theories of truth that require verification to be valid. Instead, they advocate an alternative method they refer to as "pragmatic explication". This is the process of explaining how the concept is used in practice and identifying conditions that must be met in order to recognize it as true.
It is important to remember that this approach may still be seen as a form of relativism, and is often criticised for doing so.
