In the philosophy of science, the view that concepts and theories are merely useful instruments whose worth is measured not by whether the concepts and theories are true or false (or correctly depict reality), but how effective they are in explaining and predicting phenomena
(pragmatism, experience): The essence of art is its usefulness in helping us to comprehend and improve our overall life experiences Good art is always a means to some important end (John Dewey, Monroe Beardsley)
synonymous with John Dewey's pragmatism; the view that emphasizes experience and interprets concepts, beliefs, and attitudes as ways in which an organism adjusts to its environment
{i} philosophy that the truth of an idea is defined by how successful the idea is in solving problems
A theory held by John Dewey, among others, that ideas, judgments, and propositions are not merely true or false; rather, they are tools to understand experience and solve problems
The view that the sanction of truth is its utility, or that truth is genuine only in so far as it is a valuable instrument
a way of viewing scientific theories and models that says they are merely tools or calculation devices and are not to be interpreted as reality
or experimentalism Philosophy advanced by John Dewey holding that what is most important in a thing or idea is its value as an instrument of action and that the truth of an idea lies in its usefulness. Dewey favored these terms over the term pragmatism to label the philosophy on which his views of education rested. His school claimed that cognition has evolved not for speculative or metaphysical purposes but for the practical purpose of successful adjustment. Ideas are conceived as instruments for transforming the uneasiness arising from facing a problem into the satisfaction of solving it
