Abstract
The international philosophical conference focused on the pragmatic theses that are present in the phenomenological works of M. Heidegger, M.
Merleau-Ponty and J. Patočka.
Inspired by a critical reassessment of already existing pragmatic readings of Heidegger, the contributors explored the following themes as possible justifications for speaking about the pragmatic turn in phenomenology: the primacy of the practical over theoretical understanding, criticism of the representationalist account of perception and analysis of language and truth claims within the context of social and cultural practices.
