Abstract

The main objective of this article is to show, firstly, that pragmatism is built on some doctrines that are associated with Humanism, and in being so, it is in principle a Humanistic school, and that its evident achievement on the social and cultura levels in America has led to the development of a wide range of humanists who believe in modern humanism, which is also known as scientific humanism, or in humanistic naturalism. The article opens with an introduction to pragmatism and
humanism, and then proceeds to discuss their ralation through an enquiry both into the doctrines of pragmatism and its relation to the modern American humanism.
