MH SET 2025 Paper 2 Hindi Question Paper (15-Jun-2025)
The correct answer is

Experimental philosophy

Experimental philosophy option is correct.

Pragmatism, developed by Charles Sanders Peirce, William James and John Dewey, holds that the meaning and truth of any idea lie in its practical consequences and that beliefs are provisional hypotheses to be tested against experience. Because it treats every proposition as a hypothesis to be verified in action and revised as evidence accumulates, Pragmatism is widely called “experimental philosophy” — a label Dewey himself used in works like ‘Experience and Nature’ and ‘The Quest for Certainty.’

In educational terms this translates to the project method, learning by doing, and Dewey’s laboratory school — the classroom as an experimental site where children test ideas rather than memorise fixed truths. So the philosophy’s alternate name is Experimental philosophy.

“Logical” and “Spiritual” philosophy point respectively to Analytic philosophy and to Vedanta/Idealism, while “Technical” philosophy is not a recognised school — none of these captures Pragmatism’s test-and-verify method.
