notability[edit]

It is currently unclear whether this topic is notable enough for Wikipedia. In particular, since no references are cited whatsoever, it is not transparent to me whether practicalism is really a relevant concept in philosophy, or whether it is just a neologism? But that's partially due to me not being an expert in philosophy, and so I am hoping for expert opinions. Please add your comments below. --B. Wolterding 12:14, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not an expert either, but it seems practicalism is not widely used (only 155 Google Scholar hits) as a term to encompass all practical theories. The meaning of "practicalism" is obvious, and an expansion would be redundant to pragmatism; best to redirect this there (practical redirects there also). The last part about the system of government doesn't look right and doesn't explain why it's called practicalism. –Pomte 17:47, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your help - I will place the redirect. --B. Wolterding 09:12, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
