Resumen
GARCIA VALINA, Luis. Sobre la necesidad de completar el "giro pragmático" en el liberalismo político de John Rawls. Rev. latinoam. filos. [online]. 2013, vol.39, n.1, pp.43-72. ISSN 1852-7353.
Pragmatism and political liberalism as developed by John Rawls are seen as rival traditions. However, the analysis shows resemblances in at least three aspects, in the context of Rawls' "pragmatic turn" initiated in Political Liberalism (1993): the primacy of practice, contextualism and constructivism. Nevertheless, the fixation on the basic structure of society as the primary object of inquiry blocks the completion of the turn aforementioned, making the theory vulnerable to the "philosophical fallacy" described by John Dewey. Abandonment of such a fixation might make liberalism more flexible and sensible to problems of daily politics. An additional consequence will be an orientation towards pragmatism.
