This is a study edition of Charles Sanders Peirce's manuscripts for
lectures on pragmatism given in spring 1903 at Harvard University.
Excerpts from these writings have been published elsewhere but in
abbreviated form. Turrisi has edited the manuscripts for
publication and has written a series of notes that illuminate the
historical, scientific, and philosophical contexts of Peirce's
references in the lectures. She has also written a Preface that
describes the manner in which the lectures came to be given,
including an account of Peirce's life and career pertinent to
understanding the philosopher himself. Turrisi's introduction
interprets Peirce's brand of pragmatism within his system of logic
and philosophy of science as well as within general philosophical
principles.
Charles S. Peirce's "Illustrations of the Logic of Science" is an
early work in the philosophy of science and the official birthplace
of pragmatism. It contains Peirce's two most influential papers:
"The Fixation of Belief" and "How to Make Our Ideas Clear," as well
as discussions on the theory of probability, the ground of
induction, the relation between science and religion, and the logic
of abduction. Unsatisfied with the result and driven by a constant,
almost feverish urge to improve his work, Peirce spent considerable
time and effort revising these papers. These efforts gained
significant momentum after the turn of the century when Peirce
sought to establish his role in the development of pragmatism while
distancing himself from the more popular versions that had become
current. The present edition brings together the original series as
it appeared in "Popular Science Monthly" and a selection of
Peirce's later revisions, many of which remained hidden in the mass
of messy manuscripts that were left behind after his death in
1914.
