Classic pragmatism. both in the United States and in Europe, proposed a radical alternative to Kant’s epistemology that has not been fully understood by both analytic philosophy and hermeneutics. All pragmatists focused their critique on the separation between thing-in-itself and knowledge, as opposed to a continuity of reality and knowledge. Peirce and James tried to specify this answer defending a different path of reasoning based on evolutionary common sense and the logic of vagueness.
