Research group based at the University of Buenos Aires, CONICET, and SADAF, working on social epistemology, pragmatism, and philosophy of language.
Joint projects with UBA, CONICET, and SADAF connect epistemology with contemporary problems.
Workshops and reading groups support graduate students and create open discussion spaces.
Outreach activities and dialogue with legal institutions.
Our work is organized in three branches: pragmatism, social epistemology, and philosophy of language. Each branch has distinct projects but shares problems and methods with the others.
We explore the pragmatist canon—especially Dewey, James, and Rorty—to rethink democratic institutions and situated justification practices.
We study how testimony, disagreement, and institutional trust shape knowledge production in plural societies.
We investigate semantic inferentialism and philosophical pragmatics to understand how meaning guides legal and civic practices.
The name comes from pragmatist philosophy and the idea that knowledge is built from historical, social, and material contexts. Following Richard Rorty and John Dewey, we study how contingency shapes the standards by which we justify beliefs and practices.
The three branches work together: pragmatist debates inform social epistemology, while research on semantic normativity raises questions about epistemic justice.
We work with Argentine academic institutions.
