Jose Enrique Rodo

Este texto se ocupará de comparar dos textos el Ariel del uruguayo José Enrique Rodó (1900) y el Pragmatismo (1907) del norteamericano William James. A través de estos textos, que no han sido comparados anteriormente, se fundaron tradiciones intelectuales americanas que hasta hoy día no han dejado de ser influyentes entre los intelectuales, el primero. Especialmente, el Pragmatismo de James se articula en una serie de textos escritos por Pierce y Dewey que, a diferencia del Arielismo, que agotó rápidamente sus posibilidades de recepción y reproducción, no ha dejado de interesar a académicos e intelectuales de todo el mundo. El objetivo de este texto es demostrar que hay similitudes entre ambas formas de pensamiento y que el Pragmatismo, tan desconocido y vilipendiado en la América hispana por ser aparentemente una ideología del Imperio y del norte, es un interlocutor perfecto para iniciar un diálogo transcultural en el continente.

Jose Enrique Rodo

Carlos Vaz Ferreira (1872–1958) was Uruguay’s leading twentieth-century philosopher. He worked on social and political philosophy, moral philosophy, aesthetics, and feminism. Considered to be one of Latin America’s most original thinkers, Vaz Ferreira’s philosophy was nonetheless responsive to and, in some cases, influenced by the work of a number of other figures. This article explores Vaz Ferreira’s roots in the thought of Herbert Spencer, Charles Darwin, Dr. Gregorio Marañón, Benito Jerónimo Feijóo y Montenegro, Harald Höffding, Hugo Münsterberg, Wilhelm Dilthey, Miguel de Unamuno, John Stuart Mill, William James, José Enrique Rodó, and Henri Bergson. His feminist philosophy was influenced by his sister, María Eugenia Vaz Ferreira, Dr. Paulina Luisi, and other suffragists. I seek to distinguish among the influences Vaz Ferreira ultimately rejected, those he could not escape, those he adapted, and those he most favored as he developed his unique philosophy of freedom.

Pragmatist Philosophy

AbstractA pragmatist philosophy of psychological science offers to the direct replication debate concrete recommendations and novel benefits that are not discussed in Zwaan et al. This philosophy guides our work as field experimentalists interested in behavioral measurement. Furthermore, all psychologists can relate to its ultimate aim set out by William James: to study mental processes that provide explanations for why people behave as they do in the world.
