This book cuts through the complex writing style of the seminal philosopher, Charles Sanders Peirce. It disentangles his ideas, explains them one by one, and then puts the pieces back together for application to educational issues. Accessible to a general readership, this study provides useful insights into Peirce's pragmatism for educators and philosophers.

Christopher Hookway presents a series of studies of themes from the work of the great American philosopher Charles S. Peirce (1839-1913), often described as the founder of pragmatism. These themes concern how we are able to investigate the world rationally; and, as Hookway shows, the ideas introduced by Peirce can still make fruitful contributions to research in philosophy, logic and semiotics. After an extended examination of Peirce's account of truth, and of its relations to his ideas about logic, reference, and representation, Hookway discusses his claims that rationality requires a system of 'scientific metaphysics'. The second half of the book studies the role of common sense, sentiments, and emotions in rationality. It concludes with discussions of Peirce's approach to religious belief and the role of pragmatism in his thought. These compelling essays present the fruits of fifteen years of research on Peirce, but do so in a way that makes his ideas accessible and relevant for philosophers who are not specialists in the history of American thought. The introduction offers a general sketch of Peirce's philosophy as a way into the book for such readers, and draws together the themes of the essays.

For the past fifteen years, Aikin and Talisse have been working collaboratively on a new vision of American pragmatism, one which sees pragmatism as a living and developing philosophical idiom that originates in the work of the "classical" pragmatisms of Charles Peirce, William James, and John Dewey, uninterruptedly develops through the later 20th Century pragmatists (C. I. Lewis, Wilfrid Sellars, Nelson Goodman, W. V. O. Quine), and continues through the present day. According to Aikin and Talisse, pragmatism is fundamentally a metaphilosophical proposal – a methodological suggestion for carrying inquiry forward amidst ongoing deep disagreement over the aims, limitations, and possibilities of philosophy. This conception of pragmatism not only runs contrary to the dominant self-understanding among cotemporary philosophers who identify with the classical pragmatists, it also holds important implications for pragmatist philosophy. In particular, Aikin and Talisse show that their version of pragmatism involves distinctive claims about epistemic justification, moral disagreement, democratic citizenship, and the conduct of inquiry. The chapters combine detailed engagements with the history and development of pragmatism with original argumentation aimed at a philosophical audience beyond pragmatism.

This is the first study of Charles Peirce's philosophy as a form of writing and the first study of his pragmatic writings as a critique of the modern attempt to change society by writing philosophy. According to Ochs, Peirce concluded that his own pragmatism displayed the errors of modernity, attempting to recreate rather than repair modern philosophy. His self-critique - which he called pragmaticism - refashions pragmatism as what Ochs calls a 'pragmatic method of reading': a method of, first, uncovering the conflicting beliefs that generate modern philosophies and, second, recommending ways of repairing these conflicts. Redescribing Peirce's pragmatism as 'the logic of scripture', Ochs suggests that Christians and Jews may in fact re-read pragmatism as a logic of Scripture: that is, as a modern philosopher's way of diagramming the Bible's rules for repairing broken lives and healing societal suffering.

"Beyond doubt, Charles Sanders Peirce was one of the most original minds of the later nineteenth century and certainly the greatest American thinker ever" Bertrand Russell, 1959Peirce was also the founder of Pragmatism which is the only philosophical tradition from the US. Pragmatism was popularized by the works of William James and John Dewey. Peirce's original contributions to Philosophy and Logic have been overlooked and neglected mostly. "The only original philosophical tradition from the US"Unlike James' and Dewey's pragmatisms, Peircean Pragmatism had logical and mathematical foundations. Peirce was a keen observer of nature, but he was also one of the best logicians ever lived -after the great Aristotle and Leibniz, of course. That is why his Pragmatism was based on logically sound and solid grounds. In order to do so, he developed his own system of Logic which he called Semiotics or "the science of reasoning".Pragmatism is subsumption under Peirce's general theory of signs -Semiotics. And, it should be treated that way. Pragmatism, first and foremost, is a theory on the "right ways" of thinking and reasoning. It is a result of Peirce's theory of cognition which was based on older philosophies as well as recent scientific findings such as biological evolution and statistical methods. This collection was carefully selected from among the best writings of Charles Sanders Peirce on the subject. The book contains the following essays: 1- The Fixation of Belief 2- How to Make our Ideas Clear 3- Questioning Certain Faculties Claimed for Man 4- Some Consequences of Four Incapacities 5- Grounds of Validity of the Laws of Logic 6- The Doctrine of Chances 7- The Probability of Induction 8- The Order of Nature 9- Deduction, Induction, and Hypothesis With this book, the reader will discover: The foundations of scientific and logical thinking The scientific and mathematical theory behind Statistics and Probability The three distinct modes of logical inference: induction, deduction, and abduction The logical way of constructing ideas and beliefs The core ideas behind the very first (and, sadly the last) American philosophical tradition: Pragmatism The theoretical discussions underlying Psychology traditions of the 20th century The original illustrations, stylized formulas and tables by Peirce The mathematical structure of human thinking and reasoning Some history of Empirical and Rationalist philosophizing and Pragmatic critique of them Chance as a real creative force of Nature To make this invaluable collection a part of your library, hit the "Buy now with 1-click(R)" button now!
