Pragmatism; Language; James; WittgensteinAbstract
Besides pointing out the topics that Wittgenstein maintains a direct relationship with the thought of James - although critically - we aim here demonstrate that thinkers have important points of convergence and also share common philosophical commitments as critical the anti-foundationalism, holism regarding the meaning of terms, among others. More than that, also aim to score points here in which Wittgenstein's criticism of James truly lives up to the thought of American author. In most, it seeks further clarification of the notion of pragmatism understood by Wittgenstein, mainly for its possible theoretical relationship with James in order to answer about the possibility of falling or not Wittgenstein's philosophy under the pragmatic perspective. Therefore, it is necessary now to carry out a more detailed analysis of the aforementioned objectives, as well as a clarification of the issues around them.
