Truth from Pragmatic Viewpoint based on William Jame's Ideas

In the late 19th century, to end the conflict between empiricists and rationalists, a thought called 'pragmatism' emerged using both schools (empiricism and rationalism) and based on practical presence of philosophy in life and its direct and mutual influence on worldly life. Among the great men of this line of thought, pragmatism owes much to William James. James wanted to direct truth and knowledge towards practical utility, thereby bringing reconciliation to the realm of experience and abstraction; and he was verily successful in this regard. He attempted to use 'practical utility' as a criterion for truthfulness or falsity of propositions, bringing knowledge to the sphere of action and experience. Of course, he accepted not all facts are certain for all. The present article uses a theoretical approach in seeking certainty for this matter.
