Charles Sanders Peirce, the founder of Pragmatism, was convinced
that metaphysics is not just of primary importance to philosophy,
but that it serves as the basis of all sciences. From Realism to
'Realicism' is a unique critical study of Peirce's metaphysics, and
his repeated insistence on the realism of the medieval schoolman as
the key to understanding his own system. By tracing the problem of
universals beginning with its Greek roots, Rosa Maria Perez-Teran
Mayorga provides the necessary yet underrepresented background of
moderate realism and Peirce's eventual revision of metaphysics.
This book examines Peirce's definition of the "real," his
synechism, his idealism, and his "pragmaticism," which are all
related to his sense of realism. With strong analyses and
references to Plato, Aristotle, and John Duns Scotus, a Franciscan
monk known as a major proponent of scholastic realism, From Realism
to 'Realicism' is an insightful and intriguing book that will
stimulate the minds of fellow philosophers and those interested in
Charles Sanders Peirce.
