Resumo

There is a sense in which practice-based approaches could be considered pragmatic approaches; namely and trivially, practice-based approaches take practices into account. But, given some existing characterizations of practice-based approaches, not all pragmatic approaches are practice-based. In the following, I intend to illustrate the problem by showing that Frapolli’s pragmatic approach to the characterization of logical constants is not practice-based. I will start by typifying both practice-based and pragmatic approaches, and continue by applying those characterizations to Frapolli’s proposal, and to the so-called view of logic as model (Corcoran 1973; Shapiro 2001;Martínez-Vidal 2004). My contentions will be: 1) that the view of logic as model is a practiced-based approach, while Frapolli’s pragmatic approach is not; 2) that pragmatic approaches cannot be trivially identified with practice-based ones.
