Pragmatism’s Legacy to Sociology Respecified

Abstract

Peirce (philosophy of logic and mathematics and theory of signs); James (radical empiricism); Dewey (theory of inquiry and experience), and Mead (social behaviourism). 2. "Analytical pragmatism," formulated in connection with Vienna Circle's logical empiricists (especially Carnap). 3. "Democratic pragmatism," which appeared when C. W. Mills, following Dewey, endorsed the social critique developed by the Frankfurt School proponents who emigrated to the US in the 1940's (Adorno, Horkheimer, Neuman, Marcuse) (Horowitz 1966). 4. In the mid 1970s, Apel's interpretation of Peirce and Mead alongside Habermas' theory of communicative action gave birth to an intersubjective version of pragmatics that, strangely enough, became annexed to Pragmatism (Kreplak and Lavergne 2008). 5. Eventually, a revival of Pragmatism occurred under the lead of contemporary American philosophers (Putnam, Rorty, Brandom) who have rediscovered its foundational legacy on the two opposing sides of community and democracy.

Análise Pragmatista De Organizações

“…Exige renunciar ao emprego (tão frequente na Administração) de arranjos apriorísticos de elementos (causas, categorias etc.) idealizados como determinantes do que se pretende compreender cientificamente (Ogien, 2015). A análise pragmatista busca captar o que emerge da ação em estudo, incluindo a própria investigação do pesquisador.…”

Unidades de Conservação Ambiental – uma Análise Pragmatista da Gestão e dos Modos de Existência Organizacional de uma Estação Ecológica

“…E o outro, pelos desenvolvimentos do Groupe de Sociologie Politique et Morale (GSPM), fundado por Luc Boltanski e Laurent Thévenot na École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales. Embora seja necessário ter certo cuidado para não reunir diferentes experimentações sob um mesmo título como se não houvesse singularidades (Cefaï, 2009), ao fazer referência à sociologia pragmática ou, ainda, à sociologia pragmatista, percebe-se que há um vasto conjunto de abordagens e estudos que se inspiram no pragmatismo filosófico e apresentam alguns pontos de convergência, tais como o primado da prática e da ação, a natureza decisiva do contexto, a importância da incerteza, a temporalidade da ação e a sociabilidade da atividade normativa (Ogien, 2014(Ogien, , 2015.…”

Environmental Conservation Units – a Pragmatist Analysis of the Organizational Management and Modes of Existence of an Ecological Station

“…And the other was through the developments of the Groupe de Sociologie Politique et Morale (GSPM), founded by Luc Boltanski and Laurent Thévenot at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales. Although some care is needed to avoid bringing together different experimentations under the same title as if there were no singularities (Cefaï, 2009), by making reference to pragmatic sociology or, also, pragmatist sociology, it is perceived that there is a vast set of approaches and studies that are inspired by philosophical pragmatism and present some convergent points, such as the primacy of practice and action, the decisive nature of the context, the importance of uncertainty, the temporality of action, and the sociability of normative activity (Ogien, 2014(Ogien, , 2015.…”
