This is a fragment of the book 'Truth and Illusion' which is in progress. The article discusses the operational sense of truthfulness as was defined by Peirce and James. The 'founding fathers' of pragmatism are presented as, on the one hand, critics of truth as representation, but on the other hand, as strong defenders of truth as an agreement of opinion. The striking contrast between them and the present neopragmatic refutation of truth is emphasized.
