Excerpt

THE pivotal part of my book named Pragmatism is its account of the
relation called ‘truth’ which may obtain between an idea
(opinion, belief, statement, or what not) and its object.  ‘Truth,’ I
there say, ’is a property of certain of our ideas.  It means their
agreement, as falsity means their disagreement, with
reality.  Pragmatists and intellectualists both accept this
definition as a matter of course.
