term "pragmatism" 150 years ago, they meant
something more than mere "practicality. " James

experience. Truth is found right here on earth. If
belief in an idea leads to positive results, then
the idea is true; if belief in an idea leads to
negative results, then it is false. Charles Pierce

a continuing argument well into the future. I
believe Hamlet was not crazy, because he proves to
be in complete control of his psyche in several
parts of the play. These three reasons are the
