  • D.Technical philosophy

Answer: C

Pragmatism is also known as experimental philosophy.

Pragmatism, developed by Charles Peirce, William James and John Dewey, holds that ideas are true if they work in practice and that knowledge grows through experiment and experience. Dewey called his version instrumentalism and experimentalism; in education it gave rise to learning by doing and the project method.

'Logical philosophy' suggests logical positivism, a different movement. 'Spiritual philosophy' describes idealism, which pragmatism rejects. 'Technical philosophy' is not a name for pragmatism.
