Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the reception of James’ Pragmatism in the work of a Croatian neo-scholastic philosopher, Stjepan Zimmermann (1884-1963). The author’s main thesis is that Zimmermann does not offer an immanent critique of James’ pragmatism, chiefly for the following two reasons: first, his critique is imbued with his misunderstanding of what James means by ‘practical’, and second, Zimmermann misses the point of James’ pragmatic conception of truth.
