<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''''Pragmaticism''''' is a term that [[Charles Sanders Peirce]] adopted in his late writings to distinguish the particular species of [[pragmatism]] that he preferred.<br />
<br />
Whether one chooses to call it ''pragmatism'' or ''pragmaticism'', and Peirce himself was not always consistent about it even after he found it necessary to introduce the distinction, his conception of pragmatic philosophy is based on one or another version of the so-called "[[pragmatic maxim]]". Here is one of his more emphatic statements of it:<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
Pragmaticism was originally enounced<sup>2</sup> in the form of a [[maxim]], as follows: Consider what effects that might ''conceivably'' have practical bearings<br />
you ''conceive'' the objects of your ''conception'' to have. Then, your ''conception'' of those effects is the whole of your ''conception'' of the object (CP 5.438).<sup>3</sup><br />
</blockquote><br />
