In this book, T. L. Short corrects widespread misconceptions of
Peirce's theory of signs and demonstrates its relevance to
contemporary analytic philosophy of language, mind and science.
Peirce's theory of mind, naturalistic but nonreductive, bears on
debates of Fodor and Millikan, among others. His theory of inquiry
avoids foundationalism and subjectivism, while his account of
reference anticipated views of Kripke and Putnam. Peirce's realism
falls between 'internal' and 'metaphysical' realism and is more
satisfactory than either. His pragmatism is not verificationism;
rather, it identifies meaning with potential growth of knowledge.
Short distinguishes Peirce's mature theory of signs from his
better-known but paradoxical early theory. He develops the mature
theory systematically on the basis of Peirce's phenomenological
categories and concept of final causation. The latter is
distinguished from recent and similar views, such as Brandon's, and
is shown to be grounded in forms of explanation adopted in modern
science.
