Abstract
Dewey’s concept of truth is useful to understand how a pragmatically approach to knowledge may contain, in opposite to the critics of pragmatism, normative implications. In this sense represents an alternative way to the correspondence’s and coherency’s theories without the limits that suppose a conventionalist position. From Dewey’s perspective, the problem of truth, in the framework of human ability of transforming the situations, is the problem of control the human experience in order to do it more meaningful and free.
