Abstract

Pragmatic theory of truth,which keeps abreast with correspondence theory of truth and coherence theory of truth,faces two big theoretical predicaments.Firstly,it cannot expose the objectivity of truth with relativism.Secondly,there is no necessary relation between what thing is true at last and what thing happens to have a role or believing that something is useful.
