Antipragmatically

/ˌæntiˌprægˈmætɪkli/ adverb

Definition

In a way that is opposed to pragmatism; in a manner emphasizing principles over practical results.

Etymology

From antipragmatic + -ally (adverb suffix). This creates the adverbial form, allowing the concept to modify verbs and describe how actions are performed or how people approach problems.

Kelly Says

When someone argues 'this is the right thing to do' instead of 'this will work,' they're speaking antipragmatically—it's morality first, consequences second!
