"Things as they are and as they are likely to be encountered in life rather than words" was the slogan of the
APragmatists
BRealists ✓ Correct
CIdealists
DExistentialists
Correct answer: (B) Realists — The slogan belongs to the realists, so the answer is realists.
Explanation
★The slogan belongs to the realists, so the answer is realists.
★Realism holds that the external world of things is real and that knowledge should be drawn from things as they actually are, not from mere words.
★Hence realist education stresses facts, objects and life as it will really be encountered, rather than verbal or bookish learning.
★Pragmatists stress utility and problem solving through experience, so their emphasis is on activity, not on things as they simply are.
★Idealists give primacy to mind, spirit and eternal values, treating ideas as more real than physical things.
★Existentialists emphasise individual freedom and self-understanding, so the slogan about things rather than words does not fit them.
