Overview
Vivimos en una sociedad orientada al logro, donde nos fijamos metas sin cesar y trabajamos arduamente para alcanzarlas. En este entorno el pragmatismo emerge como una forma de pensamiento que ofrece valiosas meditaciones para navegar un mundo de altas expectativas. A veces nos extraviamos en la búsqueda de la perfección, y nuestros objetivos se alejan de lo concreto y de lo que funciona a la hora de tomar decisiones.
Andrés Mejía Vergnaud, filósofo y analista político, propone una filosofía que nos ayuda a aterrizar, que se enfoca en lo específico y lo prioritario. A través de encuentros con pensadores como William James, Isaiah Berlin, Edmund Burke, Ronald Coase y otros, emerge una visión basada en la negociación, en aceptar que todas las elecciones tienen costos, y que lo viable es preferible a lo ideal.
La ruta del pragmatismo, un libro escrito de forma sencilla y didáctica, permite comprender una filosofía que, como su nombre indica, contiene valiosas claves prácticas para una vida más equilibrada y satisfactoria.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The philosophy behind pragmatism, which can change the way you see life and make decisions.
We live in a society that prioritizes success, encouraging us to keep setting goals and work ceaselessly to attain them. In this context, pragmatism is a school of thought that offers valuable reflections for navigating a world of high expectations. Sometimes, we become obsessed with the search for perfection, leading our goals to become less concrete or useful in guiding our decision-making processes.
Philosopher and political analyst Andrés Mejía Vergnaud encourages us to become more grounded by focusing on specific and priority objectives. The writings of thinkers such as William James, Isaiah Berlin, Edmund Burke and Ronald Coase inform his approach, which is based on negotiation, accepting that all decisions have a price, and that aiming for the feasible is better than obsessing over the ideal.
Simple and instructive, this book is an introduction to a philosophy that, as its name suggests, offers valuable and practical tips for leading a more balanced and fulfilling life.
