Resumo
The main objective of this theoretical essay is to analyze the main contributions that Pragmatism has offered to Organ-izational Studies and, more specifically, evaluate whether the theoretical contributions by such philosophers as Charles Pierce and John Dewey allow us to regard pragmatism as common sense, science, or theory of knowledge. This paper also examines the contributions – possibilities and limitations – of pragmatism as scientific knowledge in order to understand the path of pragmatism in Organizational Studies. The likely conclusion is that to be pragmatic is not to conceive of stud-ies articulated in the epistemological field of pragmatism. The pragmatic individual sees in the usefulness and in the need for action the tension point that casts a doubt in the veracity of the assumptions of pragmatism as a science. What takes place in Organizational Studies is the conversion of pragmatism as scientific knowledge into irrational subordination to function and practical action, mainly in the fields of economy, politics, science, culture, education, and so on.
