“The Pragmatists declared that philosophy must be practical and that practicality consists of dispensing with all absolute principles and standards—that there is no such thing as objective reality or permanent truth—that truth is that which works … and its validity can be judged only by its consequences and whatever one wishes to be true, is true, whatever one wishes to exist, does exist, provided it works or makes one feel better. There are no fixed laws of logic, only mutable ‘conventions,’ without any basis in reality. …There is no objectivity—the object is created by the thought and action of the subject.”
