Motivating Analytic Pragmatism

Analytic pragmatism has, according to Robert Brandom, an expressive power that should make it attractive to any methodological pragmatist. This is due to the fact that it incorporates a commitment to semantic pluralism and metatheoretic pragmatic pluralism. After sketching the apparatus of analytic pragmatism, I discuss some difficulties regarding metatheoretic pragmatic pluralism and I suggest in the end a possible structuralist strategy for arguing in favor of analytic pragmatism that consists in looking for invariant results under metatheoretic pragmatic vocabulary substitution.
