"Pragmatism is a rejection of the idea that the function of thought is to describe, represent, or mirror reality. Instead, pragmatists develop their philosophy around the idea that the function of thought is as an instrument or tool for prediction, action, and problem solving. Pragmatists contend that most philosophical topics—such as the nature of knowledge, language, concepts, meaning, belief, and science—are all best viewed in terms of their practical uses and successes rather than in terms of representative accuracy."
These words are from this Wikipedia page (Pragmatism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia), and I'm having a hard time grasping them. (And that is a tough feeling for INTPs)
If someone wants to shed some light, please do. Thanks.
