I don't know much about pragmatism. As far as I know the pragmatist conception of truth is utility, i.e. what pragmatists consider true is what works rather than what reflects some objective, independent reality.

Actually...pragmatism may be a kind of empiricism, come to think of it.
Anyway, I'm a bit sketchy on the details but I think what I've written is broadly accurate.

empiricism is often associated with scientific thought but sense-perception doesn't tell you things like you evolved from apes or that the earth revolves around the sun
