The major crises of the present fundamentally unsettle many people, which can lead to a crisis of meaning and illness. Clever, entertaining, and filled with moments of realization, philosopher Dr. Martin Bartenberger describes how Philosophical Pragmatism lifts this burden from our shoulders. Through numerous examples from private and social everyday life, he demonstrates how the pragmatic method of believing, experimenting, erring, and improving sharpens and liberates our thinking, allowing us to remain capable of action with meaning and optimism. This approach not only aims to improve one’s own life but also the world. An optimistic, life-philosophical approach instead of dogmatism and ideology helps to regain a sense of grounding and clarity in action. He outlines the four steps of the pragmatic method through concrete examples.
