There were not many pragmatists in the novel. By definition, a
pragmatist is one who believes that the meaning of conceptions is to be
sought in their practical bearings, that the function of thought is to
guide action, and that truth is preminently to be tested by the practical

That is why there is so much crime where we live. For example many people
in the mafia are caught and go to jail. Most of them do not go for their
full life but for a couple of years. When they do get out of prison they
are still in the mafia. The only thing they learn from being in prison is
