Pragmatism and moral realism
Pragmatismo y realismo moral

Abstract
At a first sight pragmatism, on the one hand, and moral realism and cognitivism, on the other hand, are incompatible views. On a more detailed look, however, they might not be. In this paper I will examine the debate on moral realism and cognitivism in order to discuss the possibility that they are compatible with pragmatism. My claim is that moral anti-realism stands on a reductivist fisicalist conception of "fact", and the pragmatism rightly understood has realist and cognitivist consequences on the moral terrain. A primera vista las propuestas del pragmatismo, de un lado, y del realismo y el cognitivismo moral, del otro, parecen excluyentes entre sí. Sin embargo, si uno las examina con detenimiento quizá no lo sean. En este texto voy a examinar las características del debate acerca del realismo y el cognitivismo moral para discutir la posibilidad de que sean compatibles con el pragmatismo. Mi tesis es que el anti-realismo moral se sostiene sobre una concepción fisicalista reductivista de "hecho", y que el pragmatismo apropiadamente entendido tiene consecuencias realistas y cognitivistas en el terreno moral.
