ROSSI, Paula. Davidson and classical pragmatism. arete [online]. 2007, vol.19, n.1, pp.119-132. ISSN 1016-913X.
In this paper I wish to trace some connections between Donald Davidson´s work (1917-2003) and two major representatives of the classical pragmatist movement: Charles S. Peirce (1839- 1914) and William James (1842-1910). I will start with a basic characterization of classical pragmatism; then, I shall examine certain conceptions in Peirces and James pragmatism, in order to establish affinities with Davidsons thought. Finally, and bearing in mind the previous connections, I will reflect briefly on the relevance -often unrecognized- of classical pragmatist ideas in the context of contemporary philosophical discussions.
