The Meaning of Truth by William James is a collection of essays exploring the nature of truth through the lens of pragmatism. James argues that truth is not a fixed, abstract concept but rather a practical relationship between ideas and their consequences. He proposes that the "truth" of an idea lies in its ability to guide action and produce positive results in the world. This pragmatic approach to truth contrasts with traditional philosophical views that often emphasize the correspondence between ideas and reality.
