Platonism is pragmatismFrom www.iep.utm.edu/pragmati/ " Pragmatism is a philosophical movement that includes those who claim that an ideology orproposition is true [in the pragmatic sense] if it works satisfactorily, that the meaning of a proposition is to be found in the practical consequences of accepting it, and that unpractical ideas are to be rejected."Since in platonism, all things are caused by the One, whatever happens is always true, simply because the One caused it. Some philosophers such as Rorty dismissed platonism because of it essentialism, which seems to be Rorty's prejudice. But in platonism, everything is true and consistent because the One caused it.Dr. Roger B Clough NIST (retired, 2000).
