The essays in this book have grown out of conversations between the
authors and their colleagues and students over the last decade and
a half. Their germinal question concerned the ways in which Charles
Sanders Peirce was and was not both an idealist and a realist. The
dialogue began as an exploration of Peirce's explicit uses of these
ideas and then turned to consider the way in which answers to the
initial question shed light on other dimensions of Peirce's
architectonic.
The essays explore the nature of semiotic interpretation,
perception, and inquiry. Moreover, considering the roles of
idealism and realism in Peirce's thought led to considerations of
Peirce's place in the historical development of pragmatism. The
authors find his realism turning sharply against the nominalistic
conceptions of science endorsed both explicitly and implicitly by
his nonpragmatist contemporaries. And they find his version of
pragmatism holding a middle ground between the thought of John
Dewey and Josiah Royce. The essays aims to invite others to
consider the import of these central themes of Peircean thought.
