Charles Sanders Peirce (1839-1914) is regarded as the founding
father of pragmatism and a key figure in the development of
American philosophy, yet his practical philosophy remains
under-acknowledged and misinterpreted. In this book, Richard Atkins
argues that Peirce did in fact have developed and systematic views
on ethics, on religion, and on how to live, and that these views
are both plausible and relevant. Drawing on a controversial lecture
that Peirce delivered in 1898 and related works, he examines
Peirce's theories of sentiment and instinct, his defence of the
rational acceptability of religious belief, his analysis of
self-controlled action, and his pragmatic account of practical
ethics, showing how he developed his views and how they interact
with those of his great contemporary William James. This study will
be essential for scholars of Peirce and for those interested in
American philosophy, pragmatism, the philosophy of religion, the
philosophy of action, and ethics.
