Pragmatic revolution
2015
Abstract La fine del secolo breve ha definito la globalizzazione come mainstream politico sociale e intellettuale. L’Ottocento della rivoluzione industriale determina un modello in cui il progresso tecnologico e la crescita economica avrebbero dovuto emancipare i popoli, seguendo il credo liberale, dispensando benessere e democrazia. Il modello intellettuale e di vita basato sul mercato autoregolato definisce un mondo sempre tendente alla crisi materiale e intellettuale. Le bolle speculative e le ricorrenti crisi economiche hanno definito una realtà asimmetrica rispetto alla teoria. Karl Polanyi ricostruisce abilmente sia tutti gli stadi evolutivi della trasformazione sociale che conducono …

Computer game as a pragmatic concept : ideas, meanings, and culture
2020
This article discusses the ‘computer game’ as a pragmatic concept. A dual nature of the computer game as both a pragmatic idea and a pragmatic meaning is introduced. Practical meanings of the computer game correspond with the concrete effects that engaging with computer games produces in an individual. Practical ideas of the computer game correspond with the subjectively constituted conceptual families concerning the computer game’s assumed practical meaning. Individual computer games can be considered flat or round depending on the range of their practical meanings. Thus, the article contributes to the study of cultural objects by offering a framework for examining the evolution and existe…
Filosofía del gesto:fenomenología del acto fotográfico, 1930-1950
2021
La estructura metodológica de esta labor se desarrolla en un sentido que va de lo general a lo particular, de lo ideal a lo concreto, para llegar al final a la coincidencia entre la forma del trabajo de estudio y su contenido, pues la fotografía se analizará justamente como determinación de lo general y vago en lo particular. Así, tomando como punto de partida un cuadro más general y abstracto, en el análisis han confluido tanto elementos históricos y culturales, que definen el ámbito de la investigación, como, más en detalle, elementos propios de la especulación filosófica sobre el tema del gesto. Una estructura de esta naturaleza sienta sus bases sobre múltiples planos de investigación –c…

What's wrong with the adequacy-argument? A pragmatic diagnosis
2011
Published version of an article in the journal: Sophia, 50(1), 11-23. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11841-009-0153-0 When confronted with the question of which philosophical conception of religion to consider most adequate, many philosophers appeal to what I call the adequacy-argument: that we should prefer the one that looks most adequate from the perspective of religious believers. In this paper, I provide a critique of the adequacy-argument based on a pragmatic analysis of adequacy-judgments according to which reflective adequacy-judgments are forward-looking, and hence include considerations of the consequences of adopting different judgments as guides…
Life Experience, Values and Education
2016
The paper deals with the contemporary problems of education – its functions, mission, humanistic essence and need for the understanding of value. Education is not only school training or getting competences at the highest educational institutions. It is understood as a life experience, where cognition, judgement and practical activity come together in one complex. Nowadays the most popular systems of education are structured on the model based mainly on pragmatism, professionalism, information, technology, to which philosophers are trying to attach moral and cultural dimensions, but their views do not carry much weight. The author agrees with R. Dahrendorf that we need empathetic education …
Perspectives on Relevance : the Relevance Test in the Constructive Research Approach
2017
Abstract Interventionist research (IVR), such as the constructive research approach (CRA), has been suggested as a method to improve the relevance of management accounting (MA) research. Although literature identifies several perspectives on relevance, the current assessment of CRA focuses on practical relevance. Moreover, an overreliance on pragmatism in assessing CRA research in the form of CRA market tests has been criticized. This article analyses the challenges inherent in conducting and assessing CRA research, both conceptually and with a CRA case example. In order to overcome these possible CRA challenges, we suggest analyzing CRA relevance from multiple perspectives. The perspective…
