O Neopirronismo, os problemas filosóficos e o pragmatismo

Abstract: In his interesting, original and well organized paper "O Ceticismo Pirronico e os Problemas Filosoficos" Oswaldo Porchat Pereira reinterprets ancient Pyrrhonism and claims a new domain for the philosophical activity, namely the "phenomenic" one. The present text examines this doctrine in order to unravel not only the similarities between the Porchatian approach and contemporary pragmatism, but also some of the main difficulties connected with that reinterpretarion of Pyrrhonism.
