Charles Sanders Peirce (1839-1914) is generally considered the most
significant American philosopher. He was the founder of pragmatism,
the view popularized by William James and John Dewey, that our
philosophical theories must be linked to experience and practice.
The essays in this volume reveal how Peirce worked through this
idea to make important contributions to most branches of
philosophy. The topics covered include Peirce's influence; the
famous pragmatic maxim and the view of truth and reality arising
from it; the question as to whether mathematical, moral and
religious hypotheses might aspire to truth; his theories of inquiry
and perception; and his contribution to semiotics, statistical
inference and deductive logic. New readers will find this the most
convenient and accessible guide to Peirce currently available.
Advanced students and specialists will find a conspectus of recent
developments in the interpretation of Peirce.
