Darwinian truth is a form of pragmatism

Darwinism, as the American pragmatists recognized, is a form of pragmatism: every goal-directed action has an embedded ethic that what works is true enough, because a finite organism cannot keep up with a multi-dimensionally transforming environment and can only generate random variants, killing the wrong ones and letting correct-enough ones propagate; therefore no truth claim can surpass this process.
