sep 18, 1870 - Birth of pragmatism

Description:

Pragmatism is a philosophical tradition that began in the United States around 1870.

Its origins are often attributed to the philosophers William James, John Dewey, and Charles Sanders Peirce.

Peirce later described it in his pragmatic maxim: "Consider the practical effects of the objects of your conception. Then, your conception of those effects is the whole of your conception of the object."
