FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF
PRAGMATISM
The theory that works are true.
Man is a supreme creation in the world.
Man is highly social in character
There is no eternal knowledge, values or reality.
Universe is composed of laws and relation.
Man only judges what is useful for him.
Man is not a fixed entity , he is the measure of all
things.
Pragmatists are pluralists.
Life is laboratory, all individual is experimenting.

Values are not real existents.
Values change according to difference in time and space
Man creates values by modifying environment

The ultimate knowledge is the knowledge that works
No Spiritual or Ultimate value
