Outline of Final Research Achievements	Pragmatism is known as the typical American philosophy. But we can find it is much influenced by modern philosophy. Especially I made it clear that the early British empiricism has pragmatistic feature in it. This consideration shows that some important pragmatistic ideas are not so new and that they are our diachronic ideas.
