En el presente trabajo se hace un recorrido por la recepción norteamericana en clave pragmatista de la obra de Heidegger. Se presentan sucintamente las lecturas realizadas por Brandom y Ockrent, para luego concentrarse en la articulación que hace Rorty del legado heideggeriano con la obra de Wittgensteiny de los pragmatistas clásicos, especialmente Dewey. La apropiación rortiana de Heidegger supone un compromiso antiesencialista, a nivel filosóico y metafilosófico,que requiere una serie de operaciones de lectura en relación, especialmente, con el último Heidegger, de difícil asimilación por parte de la tradición pragmatista. La tensión entre nostalgia e ironismo será una clave de dicha apropiación y una oportunidad para pensar sus límites.

“Pragmatist Receptions of Martin Heidegger”. This paper studies theAmerican Pragmatist reception of Heidegger’s thought. The article briely presentsBrandom’s and Okrent’s readings of Heidegger, paying attention afterwards toRorty’s articulation of the Heideggerian legacy with the work of Wittgensteinand classical Pragmatists, especially Dewey. Rorty’s appropriation of Heideggerassumes a philosophical and metaphilosophical anti-essentialist commitment.This commitment requires some reading operations in relation to the lastHeidegger, who cannot be easily assimilated by the Pragmatist tradition. Thetension between irony and nostalgia will be crucial for Rorty’s appropriation ofHeidegger’s thought.
