Resumo: The aim of this paper is to reflect on the possible implications ofPeirce's philosophical pragmatism for law andin the formation of Oliver Wendell Holmes Junior's philosophical-legal thinking.Both thinkers participated in the Metaphysical Club together with other philosophers, scientists, and jurists and discussedtopics related to philosophy, influenced mainlyby the evolutionary ideas of the time. Although Peirce did not attachso much importance to law in his vast work, we consider it possible to read the science of law in the light of his writings, which somehow inspired Legal Pragmatism or Legal Realism, assome doctrinal writers call it.At first, we sought to investigate the main ideas that underpinned American philosophy, from its earliest phase, through the Metaphysical Club to classical pragmatism, especially with Peirce. We then approach some of the concepts of his philosophy, seeking to establish a dialogue with law andtrying to relate them to Holmes' jusphilosophical thinking and the foundations of legal pragmatism. Finally, we seek totranslate and interpret a text by Peirce, entitled “Why Do We Punish Criminals?” In which the American philosopher discusses the topic of criminal punishment and proposes measures that, according to him, among other things, would be able to reduce crimes.would also entailsome savings for the state in terms of costs ofarrests and legal proceedings. We defend the idea that this text could even be considered a genesis of what was later called the Economic Analysis of Law. Moreover, it could also be argued that Peircean pragmatism has given rise to other theories applied to contemporary law such as Practicality, Consequentialism, and the Modulation of the Effects of Judicial Decisions
