… Pragmaticism is thus a way of determining the meaning of a scientific intellectual concept, which is to ascertain by all possible empirical procedures what actual results the object of the concept produces on our actions. This method was formulated as a rule of logic in Peirce's famous "pragmatic maxim," and the concept of "practical result" in this maxim is the concept of a problem that led to many misunderstandings by James and others later.
