No mais, busca-se ainda o esclarecimento da noção de pragmatismo entendido por Wittgenstein, principalmente por sua possível relação teórica com James, a fim de responder sobre a possibilidade de se enquadrar ou não a filosofia de Wittgenstein sob a ótica pragmática.

In the preface to that admirable collection of essays of his called 'Heretics,' Mr. Chesterton writes these words: "There are some people—and I am one of them—who think that the most practical and important thing about a man is still his view of the universe. We think that for a landlady considering a lodger, it is important to know his income, but...
Some years ago, being with a camping party in the mountains, I returned from a solitary ramble to find everyone engaged in a ferocious metaphysical dispute. The corpus of the dispute was a squirrel—a live squirrel supposed to be clinging to one side of a tree-trunk; while over against the tree's opposite side a human being was imagined to stand. Th...
I am now to make the pragmatic method more familiar by giving you some illustrations of its application to particular problems. I will begin with what is driest, and the first thing I shall take will be the problem of Substance. Everyone uses the old distinction between substance and attribute, enshrined as it is in the very structure of human lang...
We saw in the last lecture that the pragmatic method, in its dealings with certain concepts, instead of ending with admiring contemplation, plunges forward into the river of experience with them and prolongs the perspective by their means. Design, free-will, the absolute mind, spirit instead of matter, have for their sole meaning a better promise a...
In the last lecture we turned ourselves from the usual way of talking of the universe's oneness as a principle, sublime in all its blankness, towards a study of the special kinds of union which the universe enfolds. We found many of these to coexist with kinds of separation equally real. "How far am I verified?" is the question which each kind of u...
When Clerk Maxwell was a child it is written that he had a mania for having everything explained to him, and that when people put him off with vague verbal accounts of any phenomenon he would interrupt them impatiently by saying, "Yes; but I want you to tell me the PARTICULAR GO of it!" Had his question been about truth, only a pragmatist could hav...
What hardens the heart of everyone I approach with the view of truth sketched in my last lecture is that typical idol of the tribe, the notion of THE Truth, conceived as the one answer, determinate and complete, to the one fixed enigma which the world is believed to propound. For popular tradition, it is all the better if the answer be oracular, so...
At the close of the last lecture I reminded you of the first one, in which I had opposed tough-mindedness to tender-mindedness and recommended pragmatism as their mediator. Tough-mindedness positively rejects tender-mindedness's hypothesis of an eternal perfect edition of the universe coexisting with our finite experience. On pragmatic principles w...
Para isso, parte de duas correntes filosóficas que podem problematizar as reflexões sobre a Comunicação: o Pragmatismo de William James e a Fenomenologia Social de Alfred Schütz. Palavras-chave: pragmatismo, fenomenologia social, comunicação.
Introdução. O objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar alguns apontamentos sobre como o plano do pensamento e o plano da ação constituiriam o processo continuo da consciência, segundo o pragmatismo de William James.

O pragmatismo é a contribuição original dos Estados Unidos para a filosofia universal. Atribuímos a criação da filosofia do pragmatismo a três pioneiros: Charles S. Peirce (1839-1914), William James (1841-1910) e John Dewey (1859-1952). O termo pragmatismo foi criado por Peirce, que depois se arrependeu dele, optando pelo termo
Em resumo, o pragmatismo em James, (1) interpreta a máxima pragmática de Peirce em uma esfera individual, (2) amplia sua aplicação para questões religiosas e (3) torna o método também uma teoria da verdade.
