Although widely recognized as founder and key figure in the current
re-emergence of pragmatism, Charles Peirce is rarely brought into
contemporary dialogue. In this book, Kory Sorrell shows that Peirce
has much to offer contemporary debate and deepens the value of
Peirce's view of representation in light of feminist epistemology,
philosophy of science, and cultural anthropology. Drawing also on
William James and John Dewey, Sorrell identifies ways in which
bias, authority, and purpose are ineluctable constituents of shared
representation. He nevertheless defends Peirce's realistic account
of representation, showing how the independently real world both
constrains social representation and informs its content. Most
importantly, Sorrell shows how members of a given community not
only represent but transform a shared world-and how those practices
of representation may, and should, be improved.
