Question

___________ is an indigenous American philosophical theory that explains both meaning and truth in terms of the application of ideas or beliefs to the performance of actions that have observable practical outcomes.

Answer 1

Answer: Pragmatism

Explanation: It is, therefore, a philosophy that claims that an idea or belief is true if it is applicable in practice and therefore has practical application in reality. The meaning of an idea or belief is therefore verifiable if it has practical application and any idea that does not have it is rejected. The real consequences of an idea or belief decide whether the idea or belief will be accepted as correct. Accuracy is determined by the practical operation of an idea. In other words, the success of an idea depends on realistic execution. The principle of utility is essential in this philosophy and is the opposite of idealism.
