                    [Summary] => Pragmatism rationalizes or justifies an act primarily in terms of its results.  While not necessarily opposed to principled action usually emphasizing  the moral or ethical antecedents of an act rather than its consequences, pragmatism  is not  often associated with principledness.   For most people, pragmatism is tantamount to anything that immediately brings desired results, regardless of whether it serves or violates any avowed principle.  In this popular sense, it easily degenerates into an outlook with little concern for moral or ethical scruples.

Actions are assessed in terms of what they are able to effect, not the principled contexts that comfortable moralists, naive do-gooders, manipulative hypocrites and a few truly noble souls insist actions must be located in.
