Pragmatist, n., in philosophy, one who professes to practice pragmatism. Thus Schiller of Oxford, author of Riddles of the Sphinx, is a pragmatist, although he does not very thoroughly understand the nature of pragmatism.
I reckon any philosopher who emphasizes the element of purpose in intellectual action as a sort of pragmatist; and so computed, the majority of the philosophical world today is pragmatist.
A pragmatist, as I understand it, is one who systematically strives to “swallow” (in Carlyle’s sense) the formulas, the phrases in which doctrines are dressed, and to assimilate the true meanings beneath them.
