Pragmatism and Postmodernism

Americans are pragmatic, not as devout practitioners of a philosophy, but rather as an aspect of a national personality. We do not love idea for the sake of idea. We love idea for the sake of utility. Plato might have written, 'The Republic'. We created one. We are pragmatists. Pragmatism does not hold dogmatic Truths, only tentative truth. What is is what works. It is a perfect fit for postmodernism. It is a fit so perfect that cultural postmodernism could be said to be an occult codification of pragmatism. There are many manifestations of postmodernism, philosophical, cultural, economic, and political. They differ from each other and internally are not the same for all people. There is no large Truth to them. We all have our personal myths, our truths, that drive our psychological spaces and so our behavior. Do occult phenomena exist? Postmodernism answers, if they do for you. Pragmatism answers, if they do for you and your behavior is successful for you. We cannot ask more of a philosophy than personal success. Be well and do good.
