Considering that Julius Kaiser´s Systematic Indexing brought pioneer contributions to the theoretical framework of the subject approach to information, this paper retrieves the foundations of the analitical-synthetic method conceived by Kaiser which acted as a basis for Ranganathan’s faceted theory. In this sense, and by adopting William James’ pragmatism as a methodological approach, it analyzes the analitical and sintetic dimensions of Kaiser´s indexing method and in what extent they act as a basis for the definition of Ranganathan´s method, as well as how both Kaiser´s and Raganathan´s methods dialogue each other.Downloads
