- W99117492 abstract "According to Dewey inquiry proceeds from uncertainty to integration and control. Even if Dewey pays attention to the incompleteness of nature, to the modification and revision of primary generalizations by more elaborated conceptions, to the necessity of introducing changes in the world in order to carry an experimental inquiry, to the possibility of re-determine the interdependent constituents in a “transaction”, he seems not to be aware of the instability that this process of revision implies: we do not know in advance whether a newly undertaken revision is a progress or a waste of time. If we accept this consequence of pragmatism, how can we be confident in the truth of our beliefs, if we know in advance that most of them are to be revised, and that even if our belief is by chance a really true one, it could be reasonable some day to pay attention to some counter-argument that would induce us to revise it. How can be maintained the practical force of an obligation, if all norms are to be revised someday, and if we never know whether our favorite norms are really not been revised? The stability that pragmatism seems to aim at could be obtained by studying the relation between two opposite revisions, where some properties of symmetry and fairness can be required and defined, in a “transactional” fashion that is reminiscent of Dewey. When these properties are not satisfied, it will be true forever that we are and will be entitled to require a revision of the situation. But then, the core of pragmatism is the revolt against what is unfair, a negative content. On the contrary, Dewey has always insisted upon the positive effect of negative situations, seeing failure as learning and negation as positive determination. Key-words: pragmatism, Dewey, inquiry, revision, ethics, democracy, transaction. Resumo: Segundo Dewey, a investigacao procede da incerteza a integracao e ao controle. Mesmo Dewey prestando atencao a incompletude da natureza, a modificacao e revisao das generalizacoes por concepcoes mais elaboradas, a necessidade de introduzir mudancas no mundo de forma que conduza a uma investigacao experimental, a possibilidade de re-determinar os constituintes interdependentes em uma “transacao”, ele parece nao estar consciente da instabilidade que esse processo de revisao implica: nos nao sabemos de antemao se uma nova revisao realizada e um progresso ou uma perda de tempo. Se aceitarmos essa consequencia do pragmatismo, como podemos estar confiantes na veracidade de nossas crencas, ja que sabemos de antemao que a maior parte delas devera ser revisada? E mesmo se nossa crenca for efetivamente verdadeira, poderia ser razoavel algum dia prestar atencao a algum contra-argumento que poderia induzir-nos a revisa-la. Como pode ser mantida a forca pratica de uma obrigacao, se todas as normas" @default.
