Peirce (1839-1914) and William James (1842-1910). I will start with a basic characterization of classical pragmatism; then, I shall examine certain conceptions in Peirce's and James' pragmatism, in order to establish affinities with Davidson´s thought. Finally, and bearing in mind the previous con-nections, I will reflect briefly on the relevance –often unrecognized- of classical pragmatist ideas in the context of contemporary philosophi-cal discussions.application/pdfspainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0DavidsonClassical PragmatismContemporary PhilosophyBeliefWorldinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://purl.org/pe-repo/ocde/ford#6.03.01https://doi.org/10.18800/arete.200701.006
