Abstract: This paper focuses on the pragmatist approach to sociocultural transformation and suggests its useful potential for current issues in the Central European post-socialist reality. The exposition consists of three parts: first, it elucidates the super-civilizational radicalism of neoliberalism, which dominated during the last two decades the public discourse in V4-Countries (I.). Secondly, it investigates the conception of a transformative approach to social reality in opposition to a revolutionary one (II.). Finally, it offers a pragmatist reflection on the sociocultural transformation and the task of social critics as an adequate approach for a successful transformation (III.).
