Washington contributed to the philosophy of pragmatism by creating the Tuskegee Institute, which was founded as a school for Black students to further their education and enhance their lives. (b) Frederick Taylor created the scientific management system which made government more efficient by limiting the power of political machines. He believed that with the use of this system and the scientific method, productivity can be more productive.
