Abstract

This text deals with comparing two texts Ariel by the Uruguayan Jose Enrique Rodo (1900) and the Pragmatism (1907) by the American William James. Through these texts, which have not been compared before, are founded american intellectuals traditions that until today have continued to be influential among intellectuals. Especially James Pragmatism is articulated in a series of texts written by Pierce and Dewey that, unlike Arielism, which quickly sold out its possibilities of reception and reproduction, has continued to interest scholars and intellectuals from around the world. The purpose of this paper is to show that there are similarities between the two ways of thinking and pragmatism, so unknown and vilified in Spanish America for being apparently an ideology of Empire and the north, it is a perfect partner to initiate a transcultural dialogue in the continent.
