This is why I count myself as a Pragmatist. It's a philosophical tradition that views language and thought as tools for problem-solving and action, not for trying to create a mirror of reality. At its core is an understanding that you cannot know the world without having a perspective. This does not make all perspectives somehow “equally valid” but instead means that you should test your approaches against reality, observe what works, revise what doesn't, and gradually get better at navigating the world as it actually is.
a more usefully worded def of Pragmatism as philosophical school than usually encountered. Vgl [[Filosofische stromingen als gereedschap 20030212105451]] [[Pragmatisme Rorty 20200924110612]]
