This is the first study of Charles Peirce's philosophy as a form of
writing and the first study of his pragmatic writings as a critique
of the modern attempt to change society by writing philosophy.
According to Ochs, Peirce concluded that his own pragmatism
displayed the errors of modernity, attempting to recreate rather
than repair modern philosophy. His self-critique - which he called
pragmaticism - refashions pragmatism as what Ochs calls a
'pragmatic method of reading': a method of, first, uncovering the
conflicting beliefs that generate modern philosophies and, second,
recommending ways of repairing these conflicts. Redescribing
Peirce's pragmatism as 'the logic of scripture', Ochs suggests that
Christians and Jews may in fact re-read pragmatism as a logic of
Scripture: that is, as a modern philosopher's way of diagramming
the Bible's rules for repairing broken lives and healing societal
suffering.
