Americans love to think of ourselves as pragmatic. “’American Pragmatism’ has a double meaning since both the school of philosophy and the average American seems more interested in getting things done and the result of action rather than abstract theories which do not inspire action,” according to Philosophy Talk.
“In ordinary speech, pragmatism connotes practicality, commonsense, feet on the ground virtues Americans like to think of as specifically American virtues. One thing the term does not connote is philosophical speculation. When we say someone is pragmatic, we are usually implying that he or she is not given to abstract rumination,” according to American Heritage. Who could oppose pragmatism any more than he can hate apple pie, motherhood, and the American Way?
