Pragmatism is an American-originated movement that has profoundly influenced the rational life in the United States and has had increasing influence in the United Kingdom. The philosophical analysis of its origin was carried out in England and Vienna.it was initially addressed in Britain and, recently, in the United States it has been a subject of speculations and debates. Pragmatism is especially a method for solving or evaluating rational issues, as well as a theory about the types of identifications we have the possibility to learn and gain. This school, called pragmatism, or the actuality of action, considers a case as a fact that has a practical advantage, and in other words the truth is the meaning created by the mind, by which it struggles to obtain better and more practical results. To find This is a point that has not been explicitly mentioned in any other philosophical school, as its root can be found in Hume's words, where he calls the wisdom the servant of human desires and confines the value of knowledge to its practical aspect. Pragmatist geography is in search of a modification of the human environment through the use of geographic techniques and methods. Therefore, the value of geography is judged to be real only when it has practical aspect.
