Ai, Siqi. Shi yong zhu yi : fan ke xue de zhu guan wei xin lun duo fang ga lun. In : Zhe xue yan jiu ; Jan. (1955).
"There are people who know that pragmatism is a kind of reactionary subjective idealist philosophy, but separate its methodology from its philosophical worldview, and say : Dewey's ideas of 'realism' and 'truth' are without value, but his method is scientific and correct. But The pragmatic methodology cannot be divided from its subjective idealism. True scientific methodology is built upon the recognition of the objective reality of the material world, its laws of development and its knowability, as offered by the materialist worldview. Pragmatism does not recognize [such truths]. It serves to help reactionaries to 'cope with the environment' in a last minute struggle preceding their imminent demise."
