pragmatism, which arise from the second Wittgenstein, a conception of politics that is
an alternative to the classical Western political philosophy; for this purpose a characterization
of the Aristotelian conception of politics is first, and the action in its metaphysics;
after that the main features of modern political philosophy are indicated, and his conception
of political action, and current criticism received; finally, pragmatists linguistic
concepts that can serve as theoretical framework to political philosophy are sketched.

From Wittgenstein thought, politics is not an a priori condition of societies, but arises in certain contexts of practices and language games that make it possible; therefore language and action set up the framework of meaning of politics, and the conceptual tools found in the so-called second Wittgenstein allow to carry out a philosophical description of that, showing politics as an activity founded on linguistic practices aimed at the Common, within a form of life.

With its proposal to seek the inferential content that are implicit in human practices, this contemporary linguistic pragmatism allows bring out the inferential and practical commitments that can hide in dominant discourses and actions in Latin America, in addition to balance the weight of the diffuse post and decolonial discourse, in the background, poststructuralist, prevalent in the Academy.

Tal creencia se acepta como una máxima indiscutible, como un axioma rector, pero no se consideró durante mucho tiempo su carácter de prejuicio, heredado del fondo histórico en que se formó el pueblo griego, sin recibir antes una revisión crítica.

Más bien, es llamado como "impolítico", en el sentido de no considerar lo político como una esfera autónoma en la realidad humana sobre la que se debe meditar específicamente en la filosofía. Él es ante todo un filósofo sin apellidos en cuanto que su filosofía se refiere no a regiones específicas de la realidad humana, sino a ella en general, y por eso, Silvana Borutti afirma que de su pensamiento se "excluye… una autónoma dimensión teórica de debate, proyección y deliberación política" (2008, 60), y cree confirmarlo con su estilo de vida intelectual, alejada de reflexiones sobre los grandes acontecimientos históricos que vivió: "su estilo de vida, y las reflexiones que dedica a la crítica del propio tiempo, muestran… una voluntad anti-mundana de permanecer en los márgenes de la ciudad lingüística y científica, y ciertamente también de la ciudad política" (60).

Palabras clave: Wittgenstein, formas de vida, acción, lenguaje.
