Abstract

In this text I claim for the centrality of pragmatism to the very definition and unfolding of the analytic tradition. Departing from Conant and Elliott’s work on the history of analytic philosophy, and pointing to some selected programmatic similarities between the two traditions – such as the focus on practices (linguistic or experiential alike) as well as the distrust for idealist systematization –, I make the case for their shared faiths and prospects, so to invite to consider their many (and sometimes stark) differences within this broader communal framework
