According to which theory truth depends upon practical consequences ?
Answer: C
The pragmatic theory holds that truth depends upon practical consequences: an idea is true if it works, as William James put it. The correspondence theory says truth is agreement with facts, the coherence theory that it is consistency within a system of beliefs, and the semantic theory, of Tarski, defines truth for a language. The answer is Pragmatic theory. William James said that the true is only the expedient in our way of thinking, which shows the link between truth and consequences.
