A philosophical position or system that rejects pragmatism and emphasizes abstract principles or theoretical ideals.
From antipragmatic + -ism (belief system). The -ism suffix transforms the adjective into a noun representing a coherent philosophical doctrine or movement.
Antipragmaticism shows up in art movements—abstract expressionists weren't trying to create 'practical' or representational art; they were pursuing pure aesthetic ideals instead!
