The purpose of the study is to provide an illustration of the curriculum of neo-pragmatism approach through the conceptual and inference methods. The features of the philosophy of Rorty (the founder of neo-pragmatism philosophy) include: the instrumental and language features of the language, the feature of the self and the community, the contradiction between public and private affairs, social solidarity instead of objectivity and critical look at the vocabulary. Regarding neo-pragmatism curriculum, it can be said that education goals are relative and variable; however, the achievement of self-development, the education of a critical citizen, the establishment of conditions for the establishment of democracy, the emphasis on the transfer of knowledge, the valuation of practical knowledge can be the goals of neo-pragmatism. Due to changes in objectives, the content is also variable and there is no consistent content. Neo-pragmatism teaching methods involve participatory learning and critical discourse. Neo-pragmatists, including Rorty, reject objective evaluation methods. In general, the goals and content, methodology and evaluation of the curriculum are flexible and adapted to the environmental conditions and so-called emerging syllabus.
