In this framing, it hypothesizes that Joas’s conception is strongly influenced by Deweyan conception of experience and his theory of action, that the scope of his work in this orientation precisely lies in to emphasize the link between creativity and action that is present and underrated and undoubtedly to point out the relevance of that philosophical reflection for the field of sociology.

En este artículo [se exploran] brevemente las tesis a las que Joas adhiere, de raigambre pragmatista, aludiendo particularmente a aquellas que a su juicio permiten integrar muy naturalmente la teoría de la acción con la idea de creatividad que pretende sostener. En ese marco [se hipotetiza] que su concepción es fuertemente deudora de la concepción deweyana de la experiencia y la teoría de la acción, que el mayor valor de su trabajo en esta orientación consiste precisamente [en] enfatizar la vinculación entre creatividad y acción que está presente y poco trabajada e[,] indudablemente, en mostrar la relevancia de dicha reflexión filosófica para el campo de la sociología. Finalmente [se esbozan] algunas sugerencias respecto de la necesidad de destacar en sucesivas exploraciones, tanto en el contexto de Joas como en el de las interpretaciones pragmatistas, la importancia de la idea de transacción formulada por el propio Dewey, frente a la primacía de la teoría de la acción a secas en función de redefinir con mayor precisión la idea de creatividad misma.
