The criticism movement against Pragmatism began in the early 1950s, and it did not end until the latter part of the 1970s. This movement plays a key role not only in popularizing philosophy study, but also in establishing the leading position of dialectical materialism in the academic world of China. In addition, it left a large amount of valuable material for the objective and comprehensive restudy of Pragmatism in the 1980s. To introspect this movement will be helpful to enable the full understanding of Pragmatism and contemporary western philosophy.
