Abstract
This paper aims to elucidate the theoretical framework corresponding to Richard Bernstein’s pragmatic turn through a diachronic reconstruction of his early and mature work. It employs a structured-qualitative reading, focusing on ‘engaged fallibilistic pluralism’ as the central category of his thought. The relevance of this work lies in providing an epistemic scheme that can be applied in the historiographical reconstruction of deliberative praxis carried out by plural communities of research, particularly in the controversies inherent in the history of anthropology, considering the categories of ‘juxtaposition’ and ‘critical constellation’ of researchers.
