| Özet |
| Meliorism is at the forefront of features illustrating the pragmatist tradition. This concept bears on the belief that “the currently existing conditions which can be comparatively regarded as good or bad at a specific moment might be better in any case when the necessary effort is made.” In this respect, the concept refers to a kind of optimism and hopefulness; in addition it contains a profoundly strong belief (Stroud, 2010, p. 46). Moreover, the concept can be regarded not only as a reflection of a philosophical vision like pragmatism, but also as a part of the social tradition of the “American dream”(Campbell, 1987, p. 97).Pragmatists describe the meliorist approach as a manner of belief through which the acts of human beings soothe the pains of the world. Hence, meliorism can be regarded as something desired to be created in the living experience, which is beyond the theoretical affirmation of the desire to change the current situation. Indeed, meliorism is the method of selecting the appropriate ways for the purpose of reaching desired goals (Stroud, 2010, pp. 45-46). In this regard, it can be assumed as a method for the efforts to change the existing reality with the better one and to reconstruct it. 2 |
