This book offers a new interpretation of the metaphysics of Charles
Peirce (1839-1914), the founder of pragmatism and one of America's
greatest philosophers. Robert Lane begins by examining Peirce's
basic realism, his belief in a world that is independent of how
anyone believes it to be. Lane argues that this realism is the
basis for Peirce's account of truth, according to which a true
belief is one that would be settled by investigation and that also
represents the real world. He then explores Peirce's application of
his Pragmatic Maxim to clarify the idea of reality, his two forms
of idealism, and his realism about generality and vagueness. This
rich study will provide readers with a clear understanding of
Peirce's thoughts on reality and truth and how they intersect, and
of his views on the relation between the mind and the external
world.
