Pragmatism is both a philosophical method and a theory of truth.
.
As a method,it resolves metaphysical disputes by asking for the practical consequences of alternative resolutions.
.
Once a distinction of practice is made,theoretical difficulties disappear.
.
As a theory of truth,Pragmatism claims that ideas are true insofar as they are satisfactory ; to be satisfactory,ideas must be consistent with other ideas,conformable to facts,and subject to the practical tests of experience.
