Abstract

This text explores a pragmatist contribution to social theory and the social sciences. The theme is the relation between pragmatist procedures of thinking and the manners how we manipulate and deal with institutions. The aim is to organize some coherent pragmatist points of view about them. The first one suggests an adhesion to the conventional institutions which would be recognized as the exemplar repertory of displays of organization in a free and fair society. Behind that lies the epistemological theses about the conservative character of our beliefs. The second Pragmatist approach suggests an emphasis on the transgression of current institutional arrangements. According to which, any apology to petrified institutions is a betrayal to the human spirit which is characterized by attributessuch as activity, vitality and divinity. The third approach indicates a kind of balance between energized individual and collective mobilization and the usual way how institutions work. It focuses on the political strength of societies to change the specific contents of the existing institutions through an agenda of reconstruction of relations and affairs.
