Summary/Abstract: Pragmatism is a direction in philosophy and social theory that focuses on concrete problems that we as actors encounter in our daily experience and to that extent insists that the foundation of true claims must be based on the practical consequences of adopting those statements that we justifiably believe can be characterized as true. Pragmatism arose towards the end of the 19th century in the United States, and the founders of the direction are Charles Sanders Peirce, William James, John Dewey and George Herbert Mead. During their rich history, authors who advocated pragmatic viewpoints engaged in a whole series of productive debates with other important philosophical directions and approaches, such as analytical philosophy, hermeneutics, deconstructivism and critical theory.
