And before the American pragmatists there was Friedrich Nietzsche, the great German pragmatist, and after them all there was Gilles Deleuze in France (who heavily celebrated and promoted not only Nietzsche but also Charles Peirce and William James to the French) and of course the great contemporary American pragmatist, Richard Rorty. Pragmatism has an amazing history. And I agree, Zarathushtra should be credited as the global originator of pragmatism. We have him to thank for having started a wonderful thread of thought.

Dear Ushta friends,
I already stated that I see a strong connection between Zoroastrian and pragmatist thinking. Here's an article, "What Pragmatism Is", written by Charles Sanders Peirce, founder of American pragmatism and fallibilism (which would later inspire Karl Raimond Popper's critical rationalism).

Enjoy!
