The theory of truth is that truth statements consist of practical consequences, especially in agreement with subsequent experience. The purpose of this study is to discuss the different theories of truth proposed by Charles Sanders Peirce, William James and John Dewey. This study uses a qualitative methodology that uses the analysis of this research article to reveal the basic theories and differences from each expert as they are known as pragmatic researchers with their theories of truth. This paper is intended to explore and provide different pragmatic theories of the three truths by Charles Sanders Peirce, William James and John Dewey. This reward research to see that results from differences in the theory of truth by Charles Sanders Peirce, William James and John Dewey which results in that Peirce is often associated with the idea that true beliefs are those who will stand the test in the future; James with the idea that true trust is reliable and also beneficial; while Dewey with that idea claims of ownership are verified (or "valuation"). Therefore, expecting further research is to find the effects of different theories of truth from the three experts in various contexts.

Partindo do debate atual sobre retórica em economia, o trabalho tem por objetivo trazer elementos da corrente filosófica do pragmatismo para a discussão metodológica entre economistas, particularmente no que diz respeito à teoria da verdade e suas implicações epistemológicas. Após apresentar as contribuições dos pioneiros da filosofia pragmatista, William James, John Dewey e Charles Sanders Peirce, e discutir aspectos da obra de Willard Quine e Richard Rorty, procura identificar influências dessa corrente filosófica em importantes economistas tais como John M. Keynes, Milton Friedman e Thorstein Veblen. Por fim conclui com algumas reflexões possivelmente úteis para a prática da ciência econômica.

Chapter 4 makes the case that the work of Eliot and Lewes exemplifies a pragmatist understanding of knowledge that is centred on the idea of “experience as experiment” (Jay) or “experience as a craft” (Sennett). Distinguishing between two main senses of ‘experience’, practical wisdom and intense awareness, the chapter traces the manifold implications of that term through G.H. Lewes’s five volume fragment Problems of Life and Mind, Samuel Butler’s Life and Habit and George Eliot’s The Spanish Gypsy. Moreover, close readings of these texts are interwoven with references to the philosophical tradition of American Pragmatism, as represented by the work of William James and John Dewey. Briefly, my main argument is that these Pragmatist writers shared with their Victorian predecessors an ecological view of experience as an incipient pattern, an advancing middle between the past and the future as well as inside and outside, or subject and object, that essentially lacks anything like a firm ground.

In this chapter, an overview is given of the various pragmatist theories of truth, with the most compelling version outlined. That is the position that can be traced from the founder of pragmatism, C. S. Peirce, through to Frank Ramsey. It links truth to human inquiry, and is set against the more “plastic” views of William James, John Dewey, and Richard Rorty, as well as the more realist, for want of a better word, correspondence and deflationist theories. The chapter also indicates how this promising version of the pragmatist account of truth is especially suited to deal with beliefs in ethics and mathematics.

This book is an edited collection of essays made by undergraduate and postgraduate students and lecturers of education, particularly reflecting the experiences and thoughts that developed sparked by a series of lectures and readings on Pragmatist Epistemology given by Paniel Reyes-Cárdenas. The essays explore different routes of application and action that are released after considering the thoughts of the classical pragmatists: Charles Sanders Peirce, William James, John Dewey, Josiah Royce, Jane Addams, and George Herbert Mead.

<p>The philosophical tradition of Pragmatism has recently entered the fray of international relations (IR) debates. Pragmatism has so far been mainly employed in meta-theoretical discussions over the foundations of the discipline, and to address normative and methodological questions characterizing this field of studies. The main sources of inspiration in these discussions have been classic pragmatist writers such as John Dewey and William James. The work of one of the major figures of this tradition, Charles Sanders Peirce, has been by and large neglected in the literature. The claim advanced in this paper is that the application of some of the American philosopher’s key insights, especially those regarding the logic of inquiry, to first order issues in world politics can enrich the current ‘pragmatist turn’ in IR and contribute to the expansion of the theoretical horizons of the discipline.</p>

Born in Vermont on 20 October 1859, John Dewey was one of the most controversial philosophy professors of his generation. He published more than 700 articles and wrote approximately 40 books in his lifetime, tackling a wide range of subjects such as philosophy, psychology, political science, education, aesthetics, and the arts. Inspired by William James and Charles Sanders Peirce, Dewey developed his own theory of pragmatism which is often referred to as instrumentalism or experimentalism. Dewey’s notion of experience lies at the core of his philosophy. This chapter examines Dewey’s philosophical views, including those on the relationship between man and the environment, continuity and habit, situation, knowledge, and enquiry. It also discusses the relevance of his pragmatism to organization studies, including organizational learning.

O objetivo deste estudo foi refletir sobre o pragmatismo nas vertentes dos filósofos Charles Sanders Peirce, William James e John Dewey como referencial filosófico do método misto de Creswell & Clark. O pragmatismo como visão de mundo surgiu de ações, situações e consequências, ao invés de condições antecedentes (como no pós-positivismo), tendo preocupação com aplicações (o que funciona) e soluções para os problemas. Os pesquisadores enfatizaram os problemas e usaram todas as abordagens disponíveis para entenderem o problema, ao invés de se concentrarem no método, tendo liberdade para escolher métodos, técnicas e procedimentos de pesquisa que melhor atendessem suas necessidades e finalidades, o que coadunou com o método misto, que combinou método qualitativo e quantitativo, possibilitando a complementação dos dados coletados e analisados, para obter informações mais abrangentes em relação à questão de investigação, permitindo rompimento das limitações metodológicas dessas abordagens. A partir da reflexão foi possível concluir que o método misto de múltiplos métodos, diferentes visões de mundo, e variadas suposições, bem como formas diversas de coleta de dados e análise, encontra-se filosoficamente conectado ao pragmatismo.

Even though the philosophy of common sense is not justifi able as such, the assump- tion upon which it rests, namely that there are things which we are not in position to doubt is correct. The reason why Thomas Reid was unable to bring this assumption out in a justifi able manner is that his views, both on knowledge and nature, are to be considered dogmatic. American pragmatists such as Charles Sanders Peirce and John Dewey on the other hand, may be seen as offering us a ‘critical’ and post-Darwinian philosophy of common sense.

The research aimed to apply batik motifs to strengthen the differentiation of characters in the form of adventure games that could be an interesting and effective learning medium for introducing music theory. In order to work towards achieving its objective, developing interest in music theory by using games and animations specifically to approach more people and make this project sustainable, these games were supposed to be aimed into intellectual property. Therefore to be able to make it competitive, strong differentiation was needed as so many IP characters emerged as competitors. One of the strengths that could be added to these characters was by applying local content. It was a strong differentiator and could be developed with a deeper philosophy so that it had a wealth that could be developed more widely in the future, which in this case was using batik. To achieve goal, the research used the design thinking method and qualitative methodology to collect data. The researchers collected data through the process of document research, an observation about the implementation of batik patterns in character design for animation. The result is the characters’ designs of a game to teach music theory using batik pattern application. In conclusion, the batik pattern has the potential to strengthen differences in character design.
