Resumo: The main objective of this theoretical essay is to analyze the main contributions that Pragmatism has offered to Organ-izational Studies and, more specifically, evaluate whether the theoretical contributions by such philosophers as Charles Pierce and John Dewey allow us to regard pragmatism as common sense, science, or theory of knowledge. This paper also examines the contributions – possibilities and limitations – of pragmatism as scientific knowledge in order to understand the path of pragmatism in Organizational Studies. The likely conclusion is that to be pragmatic is not to conceive of stud-ies articulated in the epistemological field of pragmatism. The pragmatic individual sees in the usefulness and in the need for action the tension point that casts a doubt in the veracity of the assumptions of pragmatism as a science. What takes place in Organizational Studies is the conversion of pragmatism as scientific knowledge into irrational subordination to function and practical action, mainly in the fields of economy, politics, science, culture, education, and so on.

Chega-se à conclusão de que ser pragmático é diferente de conceber estudos articulados no campo epistemológico do pragmatismo. O sujeito pragmático vê na sua utilidade e na necessidade de ação, o ponto de tensão que coloca em dúvida a veracidade dos pressupostos do pragmatismo como ciência. O que ocorre nos Estudos Organizacionais éa conversão do pragmatismo como conhecimento científico em subordinação irracional à utilidade e à ação prática, sobretudo, no campo da economia, da política, da ciência, da cultura, da educação, e assim por diante.Escola Brasileira de Administração Pública e de Empresas da Fundação Getulio Vargas2007-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/5006Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 5 No. 1 (2007); 1 a 13Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 5 Núm. 1 (2007); 1 a 13Cadernos EBAPE.BR; v. 5 n. 1 (2007); 1 a 131679-3951reponame:Cadernos EBAPE.BRinstname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/5006/3740Meneghetti, Francis Kanashiroinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2016-10-10T17:09:44Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/5006Revistahttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebapehttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/oaicadernosebape@fgv.br||cadernosebape@fgv.br1679-39511679-3951opendoar:2024-05-13T09:59:23.417449Cadernos EBAPE.BR - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)true
