What Is Wrong With the Diamond?

A tough minded person is typically somebody that is a sceptical person. They place a high value on something being proven for to be considered true. A tender minded person prefers to learn about things a priori by thinking about things, rather than conducting experiments. These two types of people often find themselves falling into very predictable categories. But william james thought that the philosophical line of thinking known as pragmatism solved this problem. It united the tender and tough minded alike. And before we can understand why james felt that way, we have to understand what's known as the pragmatic maxim.
