Abstract
Most theories of globalization are rooted in one of two philosophical schools of thought: critical theory or post-structuralism. Regardless of the advantages of these, one major disadvantage is the extreme metaphysics of otherness. This metaphysics manifests as a denial of the importance of subjectivity, particularly as construed in the western philosophical tradition from the dawn of the modern era. While there are problems with extreme notions of subjectivity, no doubt, the opposite notion of an extreme anti-subjectivity is unpalatable. In this article, I will discuss why I think Pragmatism as a school of thought ably navigates the rocky shoals of the subjectivityanti- subjectivity divide and provides a better foundation for theories of globalization than otherwise.

Summary
Teoría de la globalización y filosofías de la educación Si se lee un texto que analiza la teoría de la educación a la luz de la globalización, ¿qué perspectivas filosóficas probablemente se identificarán? Si revisamos los últimos 12 años de estudio, es posible que se reiteren las mismas dos o tres perspectivas entre todas las posibilidades existentes (Burbules & Torres, 2000).1 A saber, la Teoría Crítica y el Posestructuralismo (Besley & Peters, 2007; Biesta & Peters, 2009; Burbules & Torres, 2000; Cole, 2005; Cook, 2004; Crossley & Watson, 2003; Hoppers, 2000; Popkewitz, 2008; Spring, 2001, 2006; Stromquist, 2002; Torres, 2009).2 En el último tiempo, el pragmatismo ha adquirido popularidad (Tan & Whalen-Bridge, 2008; Taylor, Scheirer, & Ghiraldelli, 2008).
