ABSTRACT
One of the most intriguing features of Heidegger's later thought is his claim that if you begin with Plato's motives and assumptions you will end up with some form of pragmatism, I think that this claim is, when suitably interpreted, right. But, unlike Heidegger, I think pragmatism is a good place to end up. In this paper, I shall try to say how far a pragmatist can play along with Heidegger, and then try to locate the point at which he or she must break off.
