response to traditional European philosophy, particularly the rationalist and

work on logic and semiotics, William James (1842-1910) psychological and
philosophical writing, and John Dewey’s (1859-1952) work on education,
philosophy, and social reforms. The primary purpose of pragmatism is to
provide a practical and effective approach to understanding reality,
knowledge, and truth. Pragmatism aim to overcome the dichotomy between
theory and practice, also to emphasize the importance of experience and
action, and to develop a more democratic and participatory approach to
philosophy. Pragmatism encompasses various areas including the Ethics,
