Pragmatism has a long history in China and has exerted great influence since 1919. The experience of Pragmatism to a great extent reflects the tortuous course of western philosophy in China. This paper explores the fate of Pragmatism in China against the broader social and cultural background. It will lay out the different stages of the spread of and research on Pragmatism in China. It claims that Pragmatism reached its highest tide in China in the 1920s and 1930s and was under furious attack between the 1950s and the late 1970s. Since the end of the 1970s and early 1980s, scholars have begun to reevaluate Pragmatism and pay close attention to Neo-Pragmatism.

The paper describes the key points of Rorty’s non-foundationalist, non-universalist conception of ethics. Rorty was a successful analytic philosopher before he became a neo-pragmatist thinker. Gradually he came to the conclusion that if philosophy is to be useful at all, it must be socially useful, weaving the fabric of a freer, better and just society. First Rorty assumed the position of a „liberal ironist” for whom cruelty is the worst thing we do. The other aspect of his social ethics is „solidarity”, but both of them (liberal irony as well as solidarity) are in line with historical contingency rather than necessity.

In the article inspired by Putnam's thesis of 'skolemisation of absolutely everything' (which is so called theory-modelling argument about semantic anti-realism) the author tries to describe Hilary Putnam's style of philosophy, especially his argumentation in benefit of 'internal realism', epistemic understanding of truth and (alleged) anti-relativism. On the base of delved analysis he states that undertaken by Putnam strategy of realism defence - because of reasons that can be together called 'Putnamism of absolutely everything' - is totally inefficient. Moreover, despite of all differences and declared by Putnam divergences, it is, at least in a tendency, coherent with Rorty's neo-pragmatism, later Wittgenstein's conception of 'language games' and Derrida's open postmodernism. Although Rorty's neo-pragmatism should be called 'hard neo-pragmatism' (contesting neo-pragmatism), Putnam's neo-pragmatism can be at a pinch called 'soft neo-pragmatism'. It is caused by the fact that he does not resign from the notion of truth completely, and keeps a lot of reserve towards the thesis about incoherence of discourses. In debt of it Putnam's position becomes open for probable modifications and amendments, also concerning issue of internal realism (global or local?).
