In this systematic introduction to the philosophy of Charles S.
Peirce, the author focuses on four of Peirce's fundamental
conceptions: pragmatism and Peirce's development of it into what he
called 'pragmaticism'; his theory of signs; his phenomenology; and
his theory that continuity is of prime importance for philosophy.
He argues that at the centre of Peirce's philosophical project is a
unique form of metaphysical realism, whereby continuity and
evolutionary change are both necessary for our understanding of
experience. In his final chapter Professor Hausman applies this
version of realism to contemporary controversies between
anti-realists and anti-idealists. Peirce's views are compared to
those of such contemporary figures as Davidson, Putnam, and Rorty.
The book will be of particular interest to philosophers concerned
with American philosophy and current debates on realism as well as
linguists working in semiotics.
