how will encouraged deep thinking in the pragmatists?

Answer 1

One can be a practical person and a "deep thinker" at the same time. Consider the major inventions (t.v., radio, satellites), the people who invented these used practical application , yet gave considerable deep thought to them.

Answer 2

A curious Q??? What makes you believe that someone who is pragmatic, doesn't think as deeply as any other?

"1.. Philosophy A movement consisting of varying but associated theories, originally developed by Charles S. Peirce and William James and distinguished by the doctrine that the meaning of an idea or a proposition lies in its observable practical consequences.
2. A practical, matter-of-fact way of approaching or assessing situations or of solving problems."

I rest my case.
