It is impossible to organize an effective government without substantially in the process. Any political philosophy begins with the same question - "What is the nature of man?"

Consider the founding fathers of America. Read the Federalist Papers (Hamilton, Madison and Jay). In the paper, the authors provide almost all the essential features of human nature, and because their comments were really built a system of government, which has lasted.

The idea of pragmatism is to design something that works. Now, how will design "feasible" that the government wants the basic nature of people who exercise on the government to ignore?

Therefore, the "essentialism," the principle of land by the government, all pragmatists.

Good question. The problem seems to occur when people share their political ideologies, and it seems to be a common way of thinking is that there is a conflict between ideologies (or essentialism) and political pragmatism. Personally, I'm not sure whether there is a conflict. I believe that pragmatism will eventually be reduced almost always a kind of essentialism. You can not have a "pragmatic" solution to a problem if the problem was agreed, and suggested a problem, a fixed idea of what constitutes a problem that is itself a kind of essentialism. It is my opinion anyway.
