Abstract
The task of presenting a moral theory of the pragmatic thought is daunting in view of the
lack of consensus about some ethical or moral concepts. This challenge notwithstanding,
the paper discusses the fundamental tenets that run mainstream in such thought and
highlights some of them that critic’s have often found reasonably worrisome. The paper
argues that despite the pitfalls in moral pragmatism, when properly construed, has
embedded in it potential for the building of a robust moral system.
