Pragmatism is a philosophical movement that has had a major impact on American culture from the late 19th century to the present. Pragmatism calls【C1】______ideas and theories to be tested in practice, by【C2】______whether acting upon the idea or theory produces desirable or undesirable results.
The ideas of the pragmatists were considered【C3】______when they first appeared. To some critics, pragmatism’ s【C4】______to affirm any absolute standards carried negative implications for society. 【C5】______, pragmatists do not believe that a single absolute idea of goodness or justice exists, but【C6】______that these concepts are changeable and depend on the【C7】______in which they are being discussed. The【C8】______of these absolutes, critics feared, could result in a(n) 【C9】______in moral standards. The pragmatists’ denial of absolutes, 【C10】______, challenged the foundations of religion, government, and schools of thought. 【C11】______, pragmatism influenced developments in psychology, sociology, and many other schools and movements. 【C12】______political groups have also drawn【C13】______the assumptions of pragmatism, from the progressive movements of the early 20th century to later experiments in social reform.
Pragmatism is best【C14】______in its historical and cultural context. It arose during the late 19th century, a period of rapid scientific advancement【C15】______by the theories of British biologist Charles Darwin, whose theories【C16】______to many thinkers that humanity and society are in a【C17】______state of progress. During this same period, a decline in【C18】______religious beliefs and values accompanied the industrialization and material progress of the time. In【C19】______, it became necessary to rethink【C20】______ideas about values, religion, science, community, and individuality.
【C9】
选项
A、change
B、decline
C、correction
D、interest
答案
B
解析
change改变;decline下降;correction改正;interest兴趣,利益。由前文“To some critics,…carried negative implications forsociety.”可知,批评者认为实用主义思潮会对社会产生负面影响。此处进一步解释批评者的观点,他们认为实用主义对绝对标准的否认会造成道德标准的下降,故选B。
