But I say that one of those necessities precisely is a belief in objective truth.

The pragmatist tells a man to think what he must think and never mind the Absolute.

This philosophy, indeed, is a kind of verbal paradox.

Pragmatism is a matter of human needs; and one of the first of human needs is to be something more than a pragmatist.
