Pragmatism and Theosophy

Friends,

I have been reading "Pragmatism", by William James. A series of conferences made in 1906. (1)

It is at times rather irritating, yet it poses interesting elements to solve the question of efficiency in the Theosophical Philosophy and Movement: 

"What's the practical use, in our lives, of our philosophy?"

The question has no easy and short answer, but examining it  helps keeping away from mere vagueries or pass-time activites.  

Regards,  Carlos.
