What is proposed in this intervention is an attempt to see philosophy as traditionally conceived as a rigorous intellectual in general discourse in the light of a shift in paradigm and this, without losing its essence as rigorous intellectual and practical engagements, as a prescriptive ‘First Order’ discipline.
The main thrust of pragmatism which is now given expression in contemporary American philosophy as ‘practical philosophy’ is the negation of philosophy as a search for absolute truth which is anchored on a conceptual distinction between mind and matter, appearance and reality.
